If anyone would like to assist, I would be grateful. It is difficult to spot errors in text that you have read dozens of times before. You tend to overlook them. For example I just found this sentence:
"A space elevator is long cable, made of carbon filament, running from the ground straight up to a satellite in geostationary earth orbit . . ."
It is missing an "a":
"A space elevator is a long cable . . ."
(I tend to leave out words such as "a" and "the," perhaps under the influence of Japanese. I thought I did that only in writing, but now that I use voice input extensively, I see that I really talk that way.)
Anyway, contact me if you would like a copy now. I have two versions in Acrobat format: a 6 MB low resolution copy, and a 17 MB high-resolution copies suitable for printing.
I printed a black-and-white copy at Office Depot for $12, plus $3 to bind it. Unfortunately, a color copy costs a small fortune.I am beginning to think it was not such a great idea to include all these color figures and graphs. I have no plans to print hardcopy versions, or sell the book, although Soo is anxious to do that. I think it costs too much to print copies, and I do not think there is any market for a book about cold fusion.
