This is all good information and now I'm clear about how to move forward. I assure you I can make the text sharper and more concise, while preserving your intentions. On a text of this size, I keep a separate file of notes, questions, style issues...whatever I want you to confirm. After I get into the text tomorrow and get a closer view, I'll emal you with any concerns. I'll also give you updates over the next several days. One immediate overall question: do you want U.S. or UK style (you now use single quotes, which is the British way)? Either is fine by me. Please email me at anytime if you have any questions or concerns.
