Herman Wouks books were not all that appropriate for the crowd ArtScroll is publishing for.
From what I understand, there was quite a bit that was just inappropriate entirely.
Just mentioning Sholom Aleichem shows that you really have no concept as to what is appropriate reading. You really think they should publish writers whose stories promote going off the derech?
Besides, most such Authors command huge advances. You think these publishers are going to be able to pay such advances?
But let’s return to your initial comment. You were talking about seforim. Those are very well written. That is indisputable.
You also made an issue of grammar. The books are all grammatically correct.
Now you don’t like the stories. You want Sholom Aleichem. If you are looking for stories that belittle a Torah lifestyle, don’t expect to see it from ArtScroll, CIS or Feldheim.
