The principle was "I respect you, you give good advice, if you think I should read it, that's enough for me". The problem was:
-
-
-
...agreeing to read something (that you think independently is a bad choice) doesnt actually translate into very much reading.
-
It'd've been better had I been naively arrogant (rather than sophisticated enough to know how dumb I was) & rejected the reccs
-
Then we'd have talked about why the book sounded dumb to me, why you would take that approach, etc. And with my ugly arrogance
-
...I would have looked stupid but blundered into a conversation that would have gotten me excited to read the book. Oh well.
-
Eventually you get there anyway, it just might take a decade or so to figure out why that approach is is necessary on your own

Is this your way of telling me you're not going to read my book?
-
lol i havent even looked at all the formats yet. I mentioned that the pdf was justified, right?
-
Wow, that was insanely bad. Fixed now, please delete the old version and never speak of it again. https://app.box.com/s/i0idz2z4rbpgn938foyhjpk1f3v85fer …

Thanks so much, Bill. Sorry, if I'd realized it was so easy for you to fix I would have been bitchy about it immediately
-
No, I'm sorry I didn't check it before putting it up. Does it seem to be good now?
-
Yes, I skimmed through the first half at least and I didn't see anything odd. It's still justified, but appropriately so
-
out of curiosity, do you know why it did that?
-
It was converted from the print version of the Docx file. Other ebook formats strip that stuff away, PDF doesn't.
