    Hi,

    thank you for your e-mail!
    I am in the UK, so I think it's perhaps better, if we correspond by e-mail.
    I'm not happy with a book I have with you now, and I'm not happy with the custommer-support.

    First my book got approved, then they said the orientation was wrong, on the pictures.
    (After I changed the subtitle and used more upper-case in it, on the cover).

    Then I said, I hadn't changed the pictures, in the book.

    Then they said I'd get a one of exeption, since they'd done a mistake.
    But I think they can't say that I'd get a one of exeption, it has to be permanent.

    I also want to add a second foreword now, (to explain about why some pictures of files are up side down), but can't.
    Since then they'll then say the pictures are wrong.
    Since I only got one last chance, to get the book right, really.
    Also there are three blank pages on CreateSpace where as on Scribd, (where I put the book now, after the problems with your customer-support), these blank pages don't appear.

    So the book is 219 pages on Scribd and Open Office Writer, but 222 pages when I scale the book on CreateSpace.
    I don't understand how to get these blank pages away, they aren't on Open Office, so I don't understand what produces them.

    Also, I wrote 'CreateSpace-edition', on this book, (and all my five books in Norwegian, which are on Amazon now).
    But after I complained about my book suddently being not approved, even if it has been approved earlier, and the pages you complained about weren't changed by me.

    Then you said I couldn't write 'publised by CreateSpace', in my book, and removed the text 'CreateSpace-edition', from the first page.
    But that's not the same at all.

    And this text had also been approved earlier.
    So you just made a new, similar mistake.
    How can they do the same mistake twice?

    This obviously just to mess with me, I think.

    If the content have been approved earlier they shouldn't refuse me to get it approved later.
    But this happened twice, even if I got an appology for the first mistake, in the mean-time.

    I've gone to University of Sunderland, and learned about referencing there, and I know that one are supposed to write the edition when one refer to a book.
    And you just remove the edition-name, just like that.

    It's like you aren't serious, or try to sabotage, I think.
    This is a book about my employement-case against two big, powerful companies, Bertelsmann, (and Microsoft), and I don't want to lose control on it.

    I'm a bit wary about it.
    Please don't mess with this book.
    I therefore also want to have it on Scribd now, so I don't want the Kindle library-programme option any longer, for this book.

    Since then one can't have it on Scribd, as far as I understand.
    I only want the 'normal' Kindle-option.
    I also want you to put back the edition-name, on my book.

    And to add a second foreword where it's explained about the upside-down files.
    And the three blank pages to be removed.
    Hope this is alright!

    Yours sincerely,

    Erik Ribsskog

    Hei,

    jeg lurte på om den vikingskatten, som det står i skrivet du sendte, at adoptiv-tippoldefaren min Gullek Gulleksson Toeiet Gulleksrud fant.
    Jeg har lest at det var uventede mynter, å finne, i Rollag vel.

    (For en stund siden, riktignok).
    Jeg tenkte nå, kan dette ha vært ting, som Gulleksrud har funnet i Amerika, og tatt med tilbake, til Norge?

    Jeg har jo lest at noen av indianerne, som ble drept, var hvite osv.

    Kan det være sånn det henger sammen?
    Bare noe jeg tenkte på nå.
    Mvh.

    Hei!

    Her er det jeg har funnet i våre
    bygdebøker.

    Angående dialekten, så er det ikke
    Rollag-dialekt. Mulig det er Valderes-dialekt?

    Håper det kom til nytte!

    Hei,

    jeg prøvde å kontakte Lågdalsmuseet, om de hadde noe informasjon om
    Mogan-familien, siden min farmor var fra Rollag, Ågot Mogan Olsen.

    Jeg lurte spesielt på faren hennes, som jeg mener å ha sett ble kalt 'Nils i
    Dalen'.

    Jeg husker også at faren min sa rundt 1980, at noe av slekta dems var fra
    Finnskogen, eller noe.

    Og Ågot hadde en bror som sa 'jintutten'.

    Jeg skal finne den e-posten jeg sendte til Lågdalsmuseet:

    Informasjon om oldefar Nils 'i Dalen' Mogan og oldemor Birgit
    Mogan, fra gården Mogan i Rollag?

    Hei,

    jeg bare lurte på om dere hadde noe
    informasjon om min farmor, Ågot Mogan Olsen, (som døde i år 2000 vel), sine
    foreldre Nils Mogan, (visstnok også kjent som 'Nils i Dalen'), eller Ågots mor Birgit
    Mogan.

    Birgit var visst adoptert, men arvet
    likevel gården.

    Nils var visst kjent som 'Nils i Dalen', mener jeg at hun tremeningen min,
    Stine Mogan Olsen, skrev på Facebook.

    Gården het jo Mogan da, og de tok navnet
    etter gården, husker jeg at farmora mi sa.

    Jeg bor i England, så jeg får ikke så lett
    tilgang til bygdebøker osv., men jeg bare lurte på om dere tilfeldigvis hadde
    noe informasjon.

    Ågot sa at mora hennes pleide å si 'je vet
    itte je'.

    Men er det Rollags-dialekt det da?

    Broren hennes mener jeg at pleide å si 'jintutten',

    (og det betydde 'jentene', husker jeg at
    farmora mi forklarte meg, da jeg var guttunge, når broren hennes spurte meg
    hvordan det gikk med jintutten, en gang noen søskener av farmora mi var samla
    hos farmora mi da.

    Min far, Arne Mogan Olsen, som nå bor i
    Drammen, (samboer med Haldis Humblen), han lot meg bo alene på Bergeråsen, fra
    jeg var ni år, så jeg spiste alltid middag hos Ågot da, da jeg var sånn 9-10 år
    osv., så derfor husker jeg noen av de orda som hu og broren hennes brukte,
    osv.

    Så sånn er det.).

    Er det noe særlig Rollags-dialekt eller, (jintutten)?

    På forhånd takk
    for eventuelt svar!

    Mvh.

    Erik Ribsskog

    PS.

    Jeg har også jobba og rydda mye skog osv., i 2005, på Løvås Gård i Kvelde, hvor
    onkelen min Martin Ribsskog holdt til.

    Jeg dro dit for jeg hørte i Oslo, i 2003 og 2004, at jeg var forfulgt av noe
    'mafian'.

    Men på Løvås gård, så ble jeg forsøkt drept, så nå er jeg i Liverpool, og
    skjønner ikke hva som foregår.

    Og det hjelper ikke om jeg spørr politiet, de sier ingenting, så jeg prøver å
    finne ut mer om slekta osv., for å finne ut om det er noe 'mafian' der.

    Men vi får se hva som skjer.

    Men dere har kanskje ikke Lågendalen så langt sør som Kvelde dere, sånn at dere
    har noe informasjon på Løvås Gård, som jeg har litt hevd på, vil jeg si, siden
    jeg fikk en avtale om at jeg kunne jobbe og bo der, fra samboeren til onkelen
    min, mot å betale 500 kroner i uka i mat.

    Men men.

    Bare noe jeg kom på.

    På forhånd takk for svar!

    Håper dere har mulighet til å svare!

    Mvh.

    Hei,

    ja, det kan jeg kanskje prøve.

    Jeg bor i England, men jeg kan jo kontakte de på e-post, eller noe.

    Det er snakk om gården Mogan forresten, i Rollag, men den gården er vel
    kanskje ikke så stor at den er kjent nedover i Kongsberg osv.

    Mormora mi hevdet forresten å være i slekta etter Ove Gjedde, som holdt
    til i Kongsberg bl.a. vel.

    Men det er visst litt usikkert, min mormor Ingeborg Ribsskog, var barnebarn
    av den danske øverstkommanderende mellomkrigsgeneralen Anders Gjedde Nyholm,
    (og hennes tante var også gift med den siste baron Adeler).

    Men jeg har ikke klart å spore han Anders Gjedde Nyholm tilbake til Ove Gjedde,
    på internett, så det er mulig at mormora mi fortalte noe røverhistorier da.

    Hvem vet.

    Men mange takk for svar ihvertfall!

    Mvh.

    Hei,

    Viser til e-post
    vedr. informasjon om Ågot Mogan Olsen. Vi har dessverre ingen informasjon om
    henne.

    Jeg foreslår at du
    tar kontakt med biblioteket i Rollag, som har alle bygdebøkene og annen
    lokalhistorisk litterat fra Rollag.

    PS 2.

    Gulleksrud, (som var adoptiv-tippoldefaren min), han var jo mye i Amerika.

    Kan dette ha vært vikingting som egentlig ble funnet i Amerika?

    Også har dem latt som at det var gravd ned i Norge?

    Hm.

    Bare noe jeg tenkte på.

    Hi,

    I've also put the book on Scribd now, since you mess with the edition-stuff.

    I wonder if you have an agenda here.
    I know it's something with Kindle, that you say I can't have the book anywhere else when it's on Kindle library.

    But I'd rather take it off that option please, and just have it as a regular kindle-book.
    Due to the mentioned mistakes from you now have made me lose a bit confidence in your company.

    There hasn't been a sale for a week or so now, how can I trust that you don't mess with the sales-statistics, when I can't trust that you don't mess with the approval-policy.

    Please escalate to a manager.
    Since I'm not really contect with the way the book got, after the proof now, due to your 'funny' one-time exeptions etc.
    If I got it approved once you shouldn't be alloved to change that, I think.

    Do you have a secret agenda, I'm wondering.
    This is a book about an employment-case against Bertelsmann, (and Microsoft).
    I'm from Norway, where it's not considered kosher to be evil and play games.

    Hi,

    I haven't got any desire to write anything like that.
    I simply wrote 'CreateSpace-edition'.
    So you made a similar mistake after first making a mistake you have appologised about.

    Have you read my update e-mail?
    Are you also on first name with all your customers, I wonder.
    I'm from Norway, but live in the UK, here they most often say Mr. Ribsskog.

    Just something I wondered about.
    Maybe a manager should look at this?

    Hi,

    ok, I didn't understand that this was about the upside down files.

    The reason I put them upside down was because I was a bit stressed when I

    worked on this employment-case sometimes and managed to scan and e-mail

    some files up side down.

    I should maybe have written about this in the foreword.

    But I don't want any more problems with this book now.

    So I'll just publish/proof it again I thought.

    Thank you very much for the help!
