Well, I emailed my publisher and mostly held my ground. My point is that I believe the two reviewers so far are looking at it from a techie point-of-view and from that angle the book is all wrong. My belief is that the book is written for the non-techie and therefore spot on. I’ve sent the ms out to one trusted individual and have asked another to review it with this in mind. I trust these people to tell it to me straight and they will. Based on their opinions I’ll decided on whether to make the edits requested or hold my ground and possibly kill the project.
