Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, within the book we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.

I docked this one star to point out that the transfer of the text to Kindle is done with only the minimal attention to formatting. There is no active table of contents and the titles of the stories are not at the head of the first page, they appear at the top of each page of that story, with no space between the last page of the previous story and the beginning of the next story.The other side of the coin is that there are, for sale, Kindle editions with just "The Ransom of Red Chief" for about the same price. This volume contains fifteen of O. Henry's stories, but the only "famous" one is "The Ransom..." But, you get 14 other stories, some of which are especially delightful, such as his parody of a Sherlock Holmes story entitled "The Adventures of Shamrock Jolnes." With a typical O. Henry ending, there is a surprise twist.
As long as you get it on Windows 7 or a Kindle tablet, you should be able to search for the first page of each story. One of the annoyances of Kindle on Windows 8 is that most books are not searchable.

The Ransom of Red Chief and Other O Henry Stories for Boys O Henry Franklin K Mathiews Gordon Grant Books Reviews
Great
I BOUGHT THIS FOR MY THIRD GRADER
IT IS A LITTLE ABOVE HIS READING LEVEL RIGHT NOW BUT EVERYONE HAS BORROWED IT TO READ INCLUDING THE LIBRARIAN AT HIS SCHOOL
Great stories.
I am not sure what age boys would be appropriate for this book - possibly around 10 - depending on the maturity of the child.
...and I was not disappointed. I can't believe I hadn't read this before. A real treasure, and beautiful time capsule of historical American culture and dialogue. Very touching and humorous.
Great O'Henry Short Stories. My Grandson really enjoyed the Ransom of Red Chief.
O.Henry has the gift of story-telling; I would have liked the publisher to have presented a more readable copy. Although I was able to enjoy the stories and understand the original was used, it may encourage more readership if a clearer copy was used and if necessary to 'clean it up'.
