No, I'm not trying to wrangle an editing job out of this. I'm just of the mind that if I'm going to make a statement like "The Quintessential Sorcerer has the absolutely worst record of any RPG product I've ever read as far as the quality of the proofreading and editing goes" in a review, I'd...

Selvarin - I hope I'm not steering you away from the purchase of the book. On the one hand, I'm sure you're probably getting a discount through Amazon, and that's a good thing. Also, if you're interested in purchasing Sheoloth: City of the Drow - admittedly a significant expenditure - you're...
