You can't compare a finished product to a work in progress - for example, I do about 18-22 drafts of each novel. This is a pic of the drafts for No Free Lunch, which piled up and up as I wrote and rewrote the book. (And never mind all the drafts I didn't print, scribble on, rewrite, correct and mangle.)



If you read the one at the bottom (sealed in the red folder with 'NEVER READ AGAIN' stencilled on the cover), you'd wonder how such an amateur could ever be offered a publishing contract.
Can anyone that has read the book report back that it isn't just pages of "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy"? Cause if it is I think I'll refrain from buying it. Not to mention we might want to inform the police... heh

BTW Simon, is it possible for me to pay by mail for the ebooks?
