Thanks for clarifying, Danilo. I wonder who "DEM" is, then - nobody else in the "Artists" listing on the Table of Contents has those initials. (Although I just now noticed that the last artist listed has a comma after his name; apparently one or more artists got dropped from the ToC page...

Yes, I remember seeing it a while back. Unfortunately, I live in the US, and I think they were looking for someone a bit more local (to prevent shipping delays). Plus, I don't have an English degree or any professional editorial or proofreading experience - just a home-grown, high level of...
