Have to ask...how do you know the changes they suggest wouldn't make your book better and more likely to sell? Even if they are changes you don't like? Would you really give up the chance of a best selling book because you wouldn't take somebody else's advice?
Don't get me wrong, I admire anyone who's that confident in their abilities that they believe an outsider wouldn't have a contribution that would make the book better.
