I'm sure you're rather busy now, but just wanted to ask now that I'm thinking about it if the diagrams are okay as-is or if they can be depicted a bit more clearly. Not a big deal, just a thought as I go through your stuff. Actually, if the fonts can be altered as well, the work can be saved in picture form so it would be easier to manipulate in a pdf.

Another option, which would be the best imo nowadays, is to make a video of yourself, if even using a webcam, explaining your ideas maybe with you at a chalk board so you can convey points by pont as you go. Alot more people - "they say" - prefer to watch a video than to read, which is a bit unfortunate for the brain.

At any rate, you can even have both out there and I would help to promote them through a friend I have who knows alot about advertising kind of stuff.

Best of luck, whatever you decide, RP. I'll agee to giving the book or video a good review, because after much thought my thoughts and theory are wholly unrelated.
Lemme give your unexpectedly generous suggestions and alternatives some thought, Nobody.

Presently my general concern is abbreviation of text material.

I understand what you mean about some folks preferring to see a video or webcam presentation, but if not done professionally, the approach could subtract from the objective. I'm a little hesitant about featuring myself with the material (though I have been described as 'photogenic').

Austin may be persuaded to enhance and improve upon with sharper images - and maybe even add to - some of the illustrations? Some of the accompanying handwriting with the illustrations could certainly stand some upgrading.

Inexpressible thanks to you and Austin.

With your offer of a promoter I nearly fell off the floor, you see, I've never engaged in this sort of thing before, but, yes, apparently, it could be easily done. - Bob Dylan, paraphrased. P.S. Thanks to you too, dear Michael.


(George Berkeley, 1710) ... lay the beginning in a distinct explication of what is meant by thing, reality, existence: for in vain shall we dispute concerning the real existence of things, or pretend to any knowledge thereof, so long as we have not fixed the meaning of those words.
