Treeman’s book announcement 3 Years, 5 Months ago
|
|
|
I am hard at work on an upcoming recreational tree climbing book. It is a work started many years ago and recently revisited. There is a big upswing in interest in recreational tree climbing and it is due time for a more in-depth look at this subject. The first draft is 50% complete. I will most likely finish the first draft by fall. Then chapters go out for peer review and then comes the second draft. Bryan Kotwica of “Climbers Companion” fame will be doing illustrations. There will be photography as well.
It will be a comprehensive book bringing a lot of information from my years of experience as a rock climber, tree climber, certified arborist as well as master instructor at the TCI school. The book is full length, meaning it will be detailed in its content. It is certainly a how-to book. The book will cover DRT and is designed for beginning and intermediate level climbers. Projected self publishing date of early next year, 2006.

Preview. 3 Years, 5 Months ago

What do you mean by preview? There is a difference between review and preview. Preview would be a look at the galley (unpublished manu_script_). Review implies input.

I am not physically able to PREVIEW something like that WITHOUT critiquing it. I would most certainly provid as much input as I could. It's in my nature. It's why I splice! I saw a way something could be improved, and by splicing it myself, it could be made JUST the way I want it.

I think there is a little semantics mix-up here. As Peter points out, in the publishing world a Preview is a done deal as far as written content goes. So if Nick "previewed" the manu_script_ he wouldn't have an opportunity to provide input, it would be too late in the process.
Translating to publishing terminology I think Nick is asking, "can I be on the peer review list and have a chance to offer input on the content?"
Is that correct Nick?
Congratulations Peter and good luck getting the book done!
