***

Notice: I consider this book a finished project, although I need an independent editor to help polish my writing—authors are always the worst editors of their own work. I also prefer additional peer reviews before publishing and I am still accepting help with reviewing the book.

Because you have the opportunity to read this document for free, in exchange I modestly ask that you provide constructive criticisms. The approximate length is 60 pages (7 x 9 inch format, 11 point type, no index—yet). I cannot offer monetary remuneration if you help, although I will consider barter and trade in the form of proofreading and editing. I also will consider providing you credit in my Acknowledgements section. Please feel welcome to offer your expertise, thoughts, and opinion. I welcome commentary and feedback, especially if you disagree or believe you can help improve my book.

Although I consider this book a finished project, without a formal editing and peer reviews I must consider this work a draft, a work in progress. Also, I try to keep the copy at my web site synchronized with my primary copy, but what is posted here at this web site is not necessarily the latest revision. Thus, be happy to help editorially, but my primary reason for posting a draft is to receive constructive commentary from sincere people like you. The professional editing stage is always at the end of such a project.

Before you volunteer, please read my review guideline.
