Not worth the electrons it’s printed on



saving-gasAbout a month ago, we received one of the worst reviews ever posted by a reader to one of our books. Read part of it below to see what we mean.
"Often when reading these, I find that the author should have written it in his native language and fed it into an automated translation tool rather than attempt (and fail) to write in English. This one is not quite that bad, though that strategy still may produce a better result. It’s plainly obvious that the author is not a native English speaker and much of it is unintentionally funny, but you can understand what is meant by most sentences. It’s not *completely* incomprehensible and there’s not much totally incorrect information so I did not rate it down to 1 star, but it’s still a failure."
Ok, lets be clear, for the first few days, we were furious about the review. Nevertheless after the barrage of blaming each other had concluded, we decided to re-read the review and take a new look at the book. Guess what, we have to thank BovinitySupreme for his honesty and actually taking the time to write the review.
First we made changes to our editing staff, and added an additional editor. We re-edited not only this book, but 8 others that really needed it. After the smoke cleared we can finally say that our books are not only up to par with the reviewers expectations but are better reads in english as well as other languages. If you already bought this book, but have not read it, please re-download the revised edition and you will be pleasantly surprised.
