I truly enjoyed this book, in many ways even more so than your book about pricing. I learned a great deal and will put much of what I've read into practice. I already have an idea about a e-Book, nonfiction series, which I will begin once I complete my first novel, which I am writing/co-authoring with an established author.The reason I am writing this book is because she had read my review of one of her books and asked if I would edit another, for which she offered to pay me, after the fact. Then she asked if I would co-author a book with her.My degree is in English, so I constantly edited papers, and I held a job which entailed a great deal of editing before I could send them off for print. As these were for Fortune 500 companies, "good enough" was not an option. And I seriously disagree with that approach. I feel a reader, regardless of what is paid for a book, deserves as close to perfect as possible. I do agree that perfection is nearly impossible, but the "good enough" philosophy you advocate is reprehensible.I almost gave you a three because of that comment in conjunction with the number of errors, but elected for a four instead as I am taking away much from this book.However, I counted more than 10 errors, which is a lot for such a short book, and I may have skipped a few ellipsis issues.
