Re: Question on Book Prospectus

**"* C* <d*@sympatico.ca>**

Certainly not experienced with a university press in this particular arena 
but...is it possible they're locked into a "peer review" mentality similar 
to papers, essays etc meant for journal publication?
I did have a go round with one set of editors who insisted on documentation 
of statements found in my newspaper column, e.g. a particular viburnum grows 
very well in my area of the country and I knew that because it has been in 
my front yard for decades. Apparently, that wasn't sufficient authority to 
make such a definitive statement. They wanted corroboration from another 
source:  is Gene experiencing a similar mind set?

My inclination would be to continue to dance with these folks but not give 
up any rights whatsoever until money crosses the table.
And please let us know how it all turns out.
