Hi, Stephen.

I think that the first reader has simply decided to work from the Word document 
because the SECOND reader seems to prefer working from the Word version. It 
just streamlines their work flow. At least, that is my guess. I'm not exactly 
sure why he prefers not to consult the PDF.

Still, some other people on this list have identified some problems with my 
Turabian formatting in the notes and bibliography. So my first reader isn't 
incorrect that some issues remain to be resolved.

Sincerely,

Chris Lovelace
