Hi, Jamie, the guy you're talking about sounds like a real charmer (I
hope you can tell I'm not impressed by him). I know when I proofread a
book, I always start quotations on separate lines. One person's remarks
would be on a separate line/lines from the person responding to him/her.
Regards, Kim Friedman.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Unlawful Flight?
A long time ago someone requested the book Unlawful Flight by Glen C.
Schulz, which I was not able to get from any library. I finally got a
copy from Paperback Swap. But I can't remember who wanted to proof it
and can't find it in any of my old email. It may even have been a year
ago.
Incidentally, I started reading the book and it's very poorly written.
This guy needed an editor in a big way. There are paragraphs with
multiple conversations in it so there are lots of instances of
"conversation." "conversation of second person." "conversation of first
person again." all in the same paragraph.
Plus, while this guy's story is probably fascinating, his language and
syntax make him sound really, well, dumb. He sounds like a whiney, naive
and irrational. He justifies sleeping with women in his house with his
wife in the house because well what guy wouldn't want to?
