General suggestions for authoring:
1) Learn LaTeX or at least LyX. It will professionally arrange your table of contents, index, etc. quite well, and your publisher can control the layout quite well using external style sheets. If your publisher doesn;t want to go to this trouble it will still greatly simplify your creation and maintenance of your book as it becomes longer.
Also, if you end up publishing it yourself, LaTeX will provide you with great features which will make your life MUCH easier and your work MUCH more professional-looking. Personally I write all my documents in LaTeX using vim but that is strictly a matter of personal preference.
You could use Docbook SGML or XML instead of LaTeX, but I find LaTeX much simpler ot use.
2) Hiring an editor is worth the expense. The editor functions as a second set of eyes which can spot issues maybe you haven't.

Sorry you feel Strongly about the book but, I�m not trying to rip anyone off but as it said on the back of the book and under the author I�m new, to writing books I am trying to help the community out, But I guess this doesn�t really matter to you,
But if you know so much about asterisk and the way a book should be laid out why don�t you write one?
BTW I am open to ideas on improving the book as I said above I am not trying to rip anyone off
