RC2 of the Draw Guide is now up:

Thanks Hazel and Sharon for your edits (Sharon, I just got your second set; 
I'll put them in right away, but they're not in the file above). Anyone else 
who would like to look over a chapter, please do.

Thanks,
Jared

(For convenience, here are the guidelines again:)

Please DON'T all start with chapter 1 because we end up with 15 reviews
of the early chapters and none of the later chapters in the book.

Look for errors like this:

* Missing x-refs (marked by "Error! xxxx") or wrong x-refs (usually to 
the wrong figure number)
* Incorrect list numbering (not starting with 1, or following items in
a list not numbered sequentially)
* Missing figures
* Up to date info on the copyright page (email address, date of
publication, OOo version, and website address in footer)
* Characters, words, graphics (especially circles and callouts on 
other graphics) in wrong places on the page
* Conspicuously bad page breaks; for example, the lead-in sentence to 
a list on one page, with all of the list on the next page, or a table 
row split over two pages, or a very large blank space at the bottom of 
a page because a graphic or table has gone to the next page when it 
should not have done so
* And anything else that looks wrong

This sort of checking can be done fairly quickly, because you should
be skimming, not reading in detail.

At this point you should NOT primarily be looking for minor wording
inconsistencies and other issues. Of course, if you find errors do let
Jared know. An email to the list giving the file name, the page number, 
and the error is the easiest way to do this for PDFs.
