[Python-Dev] Help with a book

2015-11-25 Thread Jacob Zimmerman
Hello Python Developers!

I'm writing a book about descriptors, and I'm hoping to make it a
comprehensive guide, covering just about everything there is to know about
descriptors, including many tips to get past certain knowledge barriers and
how to avoid certain pitfalls. I'm hoping for it to become the definitive
guide for those who want to really understand descriptors. Raymond's
Descriptor HowTo Guide is great, but focused. I want to expand on what that
guide teaches.

Anyway, I am currently reading through my initial rough draft and making
corrections for a revised draft. Once I'm done with that, I'd like a few
volunteers to read through it. First, to find spelling, grammatical, or
consistency mistakes, though those should be few in number, but also to
give input as to whether something seems too repetitive, if some more
information should be given in a spot, and if I'm even blatantly wrong
about anything (hopefully not).

Anyone who helps will be able to receive a free ebook of the final copy as
well as mention in the Special Thanks.

I appreciate any help anyone can give to assist in making this book as
great as it can be.

Thanks,
Jacob Zimmerman

Thanks to everyone who has offered to look at and edit my book. I have
enough help now, so I won't be taking anymore requests.
