Mason,

Based on what they've presented to you so far, what can you say your overall impression about the concepts and material is? Sounds like they have some editing to do to make it a quality book, but do you expect that it will cover a lot of stuff not covered in NLHETP and other books, along with just being an overall pleasant surprise?

Hi gmcarroll33:

I only worked my way through the first third of the book which was just covering fundamentals. I didn't look at any of the "Core Concepts" material, and since the book was returned for major rewriting I went on to other projects. So I can't really answer your question.

Best wishes,
Mason

I get the feeling from this and other posts that Mason is not too pleased with the book thus far. Perhaps it won't live up to the hype. If the FUNDAMENTALS needed a MAJOR rewrite, the rest of the book is likely to be in just as bad, if not worse, shape and this project could take quite a bit of time.

At least we know they're not rushing to put something out quick that might be fundamentally flawed or subpar.

Hi kid:

Let me put it this way. In the material I read, there were problems with the writing, not in the concepts, and the book was returned to the author team to solve the writing problems. I also think it's well understood what the writing problems were, and the book is in the process of obtaining the standards we require.

Best wishes,
Mason

Ed said in a recent blog that the writing is done and he is spending most of his time "doing what I hope is the final major editing pass." He also said that "Once the manuscript is finalized, it’s probably another two to three months or so until it is printed and available for purchase."

I have no inside information, but I fully expect to start reading this book about the time I finish reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

I know most people reading this forum don't belive this, but Mason, Ed, Matt and Sunny all want this book to be published just as much as we do.

And they all want it to be as awesome as we want it to be.
