Frank - I'm glad to see a resurgence of interest in your memoir. It is a testimony to the ease of self-publication that you were able to do this so well and seamlessly. I don't know what kind of editing help you had but the result was very good for something self-published. Typography, layout, spelling, and even grammar "expertise" have been significantly addressed by modern electronic publishing, but proper editing is a bit trickier. I suppose there will soon be AI's capable of editing various genre's to a certain degree.
