Steven, why don't you write a book, too?
Funny you should mention that, for I have just received by return freight carrier my 583-page manuscript for an introduction to charcoal and its uses in the fine and culinary arts. [Note to myself: get steaks in the marinade for barbecue tonight.] The editors -- though I suspect it was in fact a new and untested editorial assistant, or even a so-called "first reader" -- suggested that three strong, brief (underlined four times!) paragraphs would suffice. There were also the usual remarks about contractual deadlines, yadda yadda, and some other suggestions about what I could do with my manuscript.

What kidders those publishing people are!

Anyway, while I'm outlining my views on perspective, I've printed out and "perfect bound" (nice touch, don't you think, instead of the spiral?) an unabridged set of my Forum posts, in random order. I'll make sure you're the first to know what the editors' response is.

Thanks for the encouragement.
