    Don’t the house rules (See FAQ above) prohibit promoting your own wares on the forum?

    is it a dirty story?
    Simpler is better, except when complicated looks really cool.

    I don’t see any promotion as such, no price, no “for sale” sign etc.....just a nice picture of a book that has been printed. 'No different than anyone else here posting a thread about something that they have achieved or are proud of.


    But nice to see it Peter, congratulations mate.

    I made the purchase, am about 50% through it-Chapt 17. There are gaps, ramblings, flat-earth dead-pans, & occasional peeks into the Authors internal world-view, Humble so! Well researched/annotated (everything written comes out as true). Literature is sometimes flat, as description runs on (factually) without contour of authorial point of view. Text seems to be written for boat builders, from boat builder. Popular audience may struggle to latch on to some of your more basic shipbuilding concepts as they are spelled out. You are succinct almost to a fault, as it takes much conceptualization between words/ideas. Again, it is a narrative for shipbuilders from ship builder. Opening in detail & breadth with the occasional interpersonal interlude would help bring in a larger audience. Explaining specifically certain aspects of rebuild, would give perspective for a larger audience. Further (& I think you achieved this in the shorthand) giving interpersonal perspective (humanizing the narrative) would go far in 'selling' the idea. (It's incredible the veracity of everything you've written!) There is a humble voice that must needs be shouted larger though. (Also your descriptions seem to be a bit flat at times ) It's an awesome work of literature no matter how it's ripped apart. I ,,,,king love it.,... c adamson

    Well, as far as that thread goes, it's not until post #30 that the book in question is even mentioned as published--a full 3 years after the thread began, as a request for information about how to edit and publish a manuscript. Is that "shameless flogging"?
