Maybe you meant that the editor would get more efficient. I speak only for myself but I declined to edit the book a second time due to repeated complaint (on initial Blurb pricing glitches). It's very disheartening. I'm no longer active in the mailing list but I sympathise with Richard's disappointment. While I was concerned at the very late change to the format personally, I supported the editor's right to control the format and I approved the pairing of one of my images (with Doug Herr) when Richard asked. On-list discussion and consensus on any changes may help the next editor. .............................................. Richard That's very disappointing that you've decided to resign after such a great effort. I liked the book and its lay out, and all I saw here on the list was praise for your great results. It's a shame, as I consider people in a job need to do it for at least three years to get the benefits of doing it. Richard, please reconsider. Would whoever wasn't happy, please point out to the rest of us on the list what you weren't happy with? After all, any of us may take over the mantle of the book at some stage in the future, and it would be useful to get pointers while the subject is more immediate in our minds than it might be in the future.
