Author uses "T" for teaspoon or tablespoon
582410
Reading through the book, I noticed that the author uses capital "T" to represent both Teaspoons and Tablespoons which can be confusing.  The directions under the ingredients will usually say if the "T" is supposed to be teaspoons or tablespoons but sometimes it will say "2 T Apple Cider Vinegar" and the directions will say "take a couple shots". Less confusing would be to use lower case "t" for teaspoon and capital "T" for tablespoon to distinguish between them.  Even better would be to use Tsp and Tbls (or Tbsp).

Another thing I noticed was in the "Bladder Infection" section, the author says to us Corn Silt.  I believe she meant Corn SILK.

I gave it 3 of 5 stars because the information given can all be found on the internet and I didn't learn anything new from the author.  It is nice to have it all in one place though.

I find it more than dubious that someone who cannot tell the difference in usage for "then" and " than" and who uses a plural subject with a singular verb in the title of a book is likely to have the "secrets" to becoming a millionaire. I could also mention the problem with comma usage but why bother?

There are many good independent authors with excellent business advice but there are some who are deluded into thinking they can write. If this fellow has obtained great wealth through his secrets, why couldn't he shell out enough cash for a decent editor? If he is so smart, why no literate English in the title or the product description? My recommendation is to not even bother with a sample.

Please fix the Amazon listing to put the apostrophe in the right place. As you can see on the book cover, it is plural possessive (Anarchists' Convention), not singular.

I remember hearing the title story read on "Selected Shorts" -- it is hilarious.

Interesting. Some techniques I have used.  Some others I will use.  Didn't seem to mention due clutter I now use.  Less paper books using kindle or similar devise.
A few wrong words so probably used electronic spell check.  Need a live proofreader.  I know I paid for my dorm room in college proofing for a local newspaper.

I have been listening to Jonathan Bailor and Carrie Brown podcasts for several weeks and looked forward to the book to have a hardcopy reference.  It is very nice to have that.  This approach to eating seems sound and I have only two complaints. The first is that he needs a better editor!  The Further Reading in Appendix D is listed alphabetically by the first name.  The second is that some of the recipes seem to have inaccurate measures  e.g., 1 cup when I am fairly certain it should be 1 scoop  created a ruined smoothie but I will try it again.  Im still recommending the book but hope the 2nd edition corrects these problems.  All of the emphasis on this being based on science leads one to think this will be correct in (almost) all the details.

I serve as copy desk chief for a newsletter business. I serve a small staff of reporters and am often challenged in my judgements regarding copy, especially punctuation. In university, I was a descriptive grammarian much more than a prescriptive grammarian. Sometimes I find it difficult to see the "errors" in copy, and am more intrigued with the writer's decision to represent an idea in such a way.
This becomes a sticking point with writers on our staff. They want a reason for the changes I make, and often I am at a loss to explain the more verbose style guides' explanations.
I am glad to have Barron's Pocket Guide to Correct Punctuation, if not for the usage details, but for the explanations of punctuation usage. To quote: "It is not strictly logical, but it cannot be too often repeated that punctuation is not a matter of logical 'rules' but simply a system of conventional symbols used to make the meaning of written language clear to the reader" (page 19). I like this attitude.

Typos, misspellings, and some exceedingly strange ingredients made me laugh out loud.  First recipe. Ingredient:  flower.  Obviously a serious misspelling of flour......or not so obviously a sort of laissez faire, do what you will suggestion to add the flower of your choice, though certainly not foxglove.  But what to do to the flower prior to adding it to the mix?  Alas, no further instructions follow.

To is when too is meant, but that is nothing when compared to some ingredients, e.g., Tuna Untrained; Salmon Untrained because why would you want to waste a trained tuna or salmon by making dog treats with them?  And my all time favorite ingredient, 6 Soaked Tuna Cans.  Right.

So here's my thought:  Something was clearly going on with this author.  Was she pouring herself glasses of wine?  Was she stoned?  Or just is wee bit too much of.a hurry a not terribly interested in proof reading or revision.  Thus I felt a certain lack of trust in the author.  I did not feel safe with her.  What would be the next blunder?  So it occurred to me that perhaps her recipes might not be trustworthy either.  I gave the book two stars rather than one for its humour unintended as I'm sure it was. But it still made me laugh.

I am appalled at the number of typos in the book.  There are several items labeled "gluten" instead of "gluten-free" (kinds of important in a book with "no gluten" in the title), not to mention others such as "key line."  If simple words are misspelled, I fear that some of the ingredients quantities may be incorrect as well.

I am the author of this book.  I am compelled to respond to the negative review written October 27.
Of course the reviewer has a right to her opinion, however it is incorrect that I recommend people "set an untabbed wick in gel".  In my introduction, on page 4, I state "The wick must be self-tabbed with a metal holder".  In my general discussion of materials required, on page 21, I state "the wick must have a metal T-Tab at its base which is at least 7/16" high".  Finally, in my detailed discussion of wicks on page 22, I explain at great length why a tabbed wick is so essential (it would be a fire hazard to not use one).
I do not believe that the reviewer has read my book very carefully because her statement about wicks, as well as her other statements, do not reflect the content of the book.
Thanks for taking the time to read this statement.
Sincerely,
Kaila Westerman

The author must be paid by the word and in order to stretch  it out just use  F----K  as often as possible.  It s a shame our expressive language is so limited.

Ms. Hughes needs to learn basic grammar or get an editor who is skilled in it.  Plurals are never formed using apostrophes...EVER!  Didn't we learn in fourth grade the difference among: to, too and two; their, there and they're?  The fact that she doesn't know to form verb tenses using the past participle makes me question just what qualifies her as a "writer".  In case you didn't know, GONE is the past participle not WENT.  So the verb is __ should have gone NOT __ should have went.  Let's also not forget that she doesn't seem to know the difference between rein and reign, conscious and conscience, and that it's -- should have and NOT should of.  Reading these stories was like taking a Lamborghini out on the racetrack and found they put speed bumps every 50 yards.  Took all the fun and enjoyment out.

Definitely not what I'd consider healthy. Tasty, yes. David, please use an editor. Your work deserves it. Looking forward to a new edition.

Wording used in this book is quite advanced for not native english speaker. It would't be a problem, but there is some technical issue with this book and I can't use english dictionary with it.

Is there a place for corrections? Frustrated I can't find a website. I made the Baked Boxty. It calls for 1 1/2 Tablespoons of Salt. I questioned this but forged on. The bread in enedible. She must mean 1 1/2 teaspoons. I wish there was a place for errata.
