How to Reach the Editor
We welcome your observations, questions, and reports. The quickest way to contact us is by email at editor@yhocam.com. The Editorial Team Yhocam, the Catalogue Editor, reviews every message personally.
What to Report
You may wish to contact us about any of the following:
- Metadata corrections – an incorrect title, author name, or category placement (for example, a book that appears in “Detectives & Hidden Clues” but belongs in “Social and Psychological Fiction”).
- File or reading issues – a file that fails to open, displays garbled text, or causes your device or browser to crash. Please mention the file format (EPUB, PDF, etc.) and the device or software you were using.
- Accessibility problems – if a publication is not compatible with screen readers, lacks alternative text, or presents other barriers.
- Privacy or data questions – any concern about how your information is handled while using the site.
- Copyright or rights concerns – if you believe a work in the catalogue is not in the public domain in your jurisdiction, or if you hold rights and wish to discuss a listing.
- General editorial observations – suggestions for new categories, corrections to reading notes, or thoughts about a specific edition.
How to Write a Helpful Report
To help us resolve your query quickly, please include:
- The exact page URL where you encountered the issue.
- The full title of the ebook (and author, if known).
- The file format you tried to access.
- A description of the problem (what you expected and what happened instead).
- If your message concerns copyright, any supporting information about the rights status.
What Not to Expect
We do not have a phone number, postal address, or contact form. Every inquiry is handled by email only. We read each message carefully, but we cannot guarantee a response by a particular time. If you do not receive a reply, please feel free to follow up.
A Note on Editorial Independence
This is an independent catalogue, not affiliated with any publisher or institution. Our selections and notes are prepared by the editor alone. Your feedback helps us improve the library for all readers.
When to Write vs. When to Browse
Before contacting us, you may find it helpful to explore the catalogue’s existing resources. Each book in the library is accompanied by editorial material such as Key Ideas to Explore, Text and Context, or Reading Companion pages. These notes often answer common questions about a work’s background, themes, or category placement. For example, if you are curious why The path of honor: A tale of the war in the Bocage appears in a particular category, the associated reading guide may clarify the reasoning. Similarly, if a file fails to open, checking the format description on the book’s page may resolve the issue.
Suggesting Works for the Catalogue
We occasionally receive suggestions for titles to add. While we cannot promise to include every suggestion, we do consider them carefully. If you know of a public-domain work that fits our existing categories—such as Science Fiction Utopias or Social and Psychological Fiction—and that is not already listed, please send the title and author along with a brief note about why it might interest readers. Keep in mind that our catalogue focuses on works that are reliably in the public domain in most jurisdictions, and we prioritize editions with clear provenance.
Feedback on Editorial Content
Our reading notes and guides are prepared by the editor and are intended to enrich your experience, not to be definitive. If you spot an error in a Themes and Context essay, or if you have a different interpretation you would like to share, we welcome that dialogue. Constructive criticism helps us refine the catalogue’s scholarly value. Please be specific: instead of saying “the notes are wrong,” explain which passage you disagree with and why.
Understanding Our Response Time
Because this is a small independent project, email responses may take several days. We do not have a dedicated support team. Messages are reviewed in the order they arrive, and complex issues—especially copyright questions—may require additional research. If your matter is urgent, please indicate that in the subject line, but understand that urgency does not guarantee faster handling. We appreciate your patience.
