Johnston McCulley : The Curse of the Capistrano (The Mark of Zorro) before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised The Curse of the Capistrano (The Mark of Zorro):

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Good bookBy Catherine Shafergood enough to buy two copies of it .0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. great readBy Anthony CanuI am happy with this purchase. The book is well formatted. I have found no typos so far. A great story.5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Lamentable typos and missing text.By John A. SigmonThis printing of "The Curse of Capistrano" is the most expensive, and is of terrible quality. I don't mean the story itself--the story is a classic with cultural significance. You may like it or not.But the quality of the printed material in this edition is AWFUL! There is not a paragraph without a typo or scanning error. Spelling errors run throughout. The text was obviously scanned by a text interpretter into Microsoft Word. Somebody ran a spellcheck, and that's all the proofreading it got. Common scanning errors are throughout, like "die" for "the", or a sudden period where there shouldn't be one. The tilde is almost always missing from the Spanish word "Senor" (I can't put it here, either!), but it's there enough times to let you know that they knew it should be there.Also, the style is straight out of Microsoft Word. Paragraphs are not indented, but are double-spaced apart (like this review). It makes reading a bit uncomfortable.Any of these errors are, in my opinion, forgivable when not too frequent. But they are WAY too frequent.The most unforgivable error, however, is that the beginning of Chapter 2 OMITS A PAGE AND A HALF OF TEXT! Chapter two starts in the middle of a sentence! The entire introduction of Don Diego (a central character), and the nature of his friendship with Sergeant Gonzales (another central character), is missing! I looked up the story (which is available online for free at [...]), and was able to read the missing page and a half.This error, combined with the others, makes this a chore to read. And I have no confidence that the rest of the story is intact. I would recommend reading this story online, or downloading it as a PDF and saving the $17 you would spend on this attrocity.

The Curse of the Capistrano (The Mark of Zorro) The Curse of Capistrano is a 1919 serialized novel by Johnston McCulley and the first work to feature the fictional Californio character Zorro (zorro is the Spanish word for fox). It would be later published as a book in 1924 under the title The Mark of Zorro. The book tells of the story of Californio Don Diego Vega, alias 'Sentilde;or Zorro', in the company of his deaf and mute servant Bernardo and his lover Lolita Pulido, as they oppose the villainous Captain Ramon and Sgt. Gonzales in early 19th-century during the era of Mexican rule, before it became a U.S. state (see Alta California). It is set amongst the historic Spanish missions in California, pueblos (towns) such as San Juan Capistrano, California, and the rural California countryside (see also ranchos of California).

About the AuthorJohnston McCulley (February 2 , 1883 Ottawa, Illinois - November 23, 1958) was the author of hundreds of stories, fifty novels, numerous screenplays for film and television, and the creator of the character Zorro. Many of his novels and stories were written under the pseudonyms Harrison Strong, Raley Brien, George Drayne, Monica Morton, Rowena Raley, Frederic Phelps, Walter Pierson, and John Mack Stone, among others. McCulley started as a police reporter for The Police Gazette and served as an Army public affairs officer during World War I. An amateur history buff, he went on to a career in pulp fiction and screenplays, often using a Southern California backdrop for his stories. Aside from Zorro, McCulley created many other pulp characters, including Black Star, The Mongoose, and Thubway Tham. Many of McCulley's charactersmdash;the Green Ghost, the Thunderbolt, and the Crimson Clownmdash;were inspirations for the masked heroes that have appeared in popular culture from McCulley's time to the present day. Some of McCulley's tales are available from Wildside Press. Pulp Adventures Inc. has published two oversized trade paperback volumes reprinting many of the original Zorro stories. McCulley is entombed in Glendale's Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery.
