I was interested in this book, but look what I read from one of the reviews on Amazon:

"Avoid this ebook. It has over one hundred fifty errors---I stopped counting when I hit one hundred fifty. The first half is full of sentences missing words, usually prepositions or articles but sometimes the subject or verb. There are serious issues with capitalization and punctuation. In one segment, every comma has been turned into a period. In another, many sentences end with an em dash instead of a period. There are missing and extra carriage returns or paragraph marks throughout, and the ellipsis has been replaced with three periods (which makes the formatting on the kindle mess up)."

This appears to be one of the main reasons - from many reviews - for only one star.

Can anyone verify that this has been fixed, please.
