Contact the catalogue project
The Political Thought Library is an independent catalogue of public-domain works, maintained by a small editorial team. We welcome messages that help us improve the collection for every reader.
When to write
You may wish to contact us if you notice:
- Incorrect title or author metadata — a misspelled name, wrong title, or misattributed work.
- Category placement — a book that seems to belong in a different section, such as “Government” rather than “International Affairs.” For example, a volume like Affairs of West Africa might be better placed under “Nations, Peoples & the Past” depending on its focus.
- Unreadable files — corrupted text, missing chapters, garbled characters, or formatting that breaks the reading flow.
- Reader failures — a file that does not open on a particular device, browser, or ereader application.
- Accessibility problems — poor contrast, missing alt text for illustrations, or screen-reader incompatibility.
- Privacy questions — inquiries about how your data is handled when you browse or download (we do not collect personal information unless you voluntarily send an email).
- 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 titles, thematic connections, or corrections to the introductory notes. For instance, you might propose adding a work like The new state to the “Government” category, or note that Memoirs of a revolutionist would benefit from a different thematic grouping.
What to include
To help us address your report quickly and accurately, please include as many of the following details as are relevant:
- The page URL where the issue appears.
- The exact ebook title as shown in the catalogue.
- The file format involved (e.g., EPUB, PDF, plain text).
- The device or browser you were using, including version if known.
- A clear description of the observed problem — for example, “Chapter 3 ends mid-sentence on page 42” or “The cover image does not load in Firefox 115.”
- If your message concerns copyright or rights, any supporting information you can provide, such as your relationship to the work or relevant legal details.
Our editorial address
Please send all correspondence to our verified editorial email:
editor@uqawe.com
This address reaches The catalogue groups works according to its available bibliographic records and subject scope. We read every submission and consider it carefully, though we may not be able to reply individually to every inquiry.
A note on response
We do not guarantee a specific response time, but we aim to acknowledge significant reports within a reasonable period. For urgent accessibility or rights matters, please indicate the subject clearly in your email heading.
Examples of helpful reports
To illustrate the kind of detail that assists us, here are a few scenarios:
- You find that The government of the Ottoman Empire in the time of Suleiman the Magnificent — Inside the Classic has a garbled footnote in the EPUB version when viewed on a Kobo ereader. Providing the exact title, format, and device helps us reproduce and fix the issue.
- You believe Anticipation — Themes and Context is misclassified; you think it belongs under “Political Thought” rather than its current category. Mentioning the title and suggesting the correct category allows us to review the placement.
- You notice that France from Behind the Veil: Fifty Years of Social and Political Life — A Reader’s Guide lacks alt text for a map illustration, making it inaccessible to screen-reader users. Describing which image and what the alt text should convey helps us improve accessibility.
Thank you for helping us keep the Political Thought Library accurate, readable, and welcoming for all.
