Update to Crowns 1.1
News
Quick update. You might notice some minor changes with this most recent update. Well, by that I mean MAJOR changes. My computer hard drive, holding the original word doc that the book was on, got destroyed. Long story.
I’ve had to rewrite the book by transcription due to the formatting, and in doing so have made hundreds of changes to the text. Only the most major ones will be listed below, but give it a read-through, or even a comparison if you still have the old one. I recommend this new version, I was able to fit a few extra lines on each page, and man does it make a difference.
