Re: [APML] Essays on Astronomical Objects

[Alen Koebel <akoebel@rogers.com>]

Good job! So far as you being "not a great writer,"
I would say you did well. In any case, your editor for
the book will massage it all into letter-perfect
prose.

But about that book: If all it contains is your images
with descriptions it would likely be the finest
astronomical coffee-table book ever made. I'd
certainly buy it. But I'm hoping it'll be more than
that. I'm hoping it will contain a wealth of practical
information for those you inspire to follow down the
same path. The master imparting his wisdom to admiring
students. (Picture a wise, white-haired Shaolin monk
teaching his young disciples the martial arts. Yeah,
like one of those flashbacks Kwai Chang Caine was
always having in the early 70's TV series "Kung Fu."
