Almost 300 years ago, Jonathan Swift published what is considered one of the greatest satires of all time. A few pages in, you might start asking the obvious: why arent you laughing? Probably because many of the words are not even used today. Let BookCaps help with this edition of Swifts classic work in modern English. The original text is also presented in the book, along with a comparable version of both text. We all need refreshers every now and then. Whether you are a student trying to cram for that big final, or someone just trying to understand a book more, BookCaps can help. We are a small, but growing company, and are adding titles every month.
