I for one would love to read this book! When I first read this message,
I thought it was a book that has been submitted and tried to find it and
download it so I could read it and write a review, but alas, I couldn't find
anything under this author's name! Dave, if you're still submitting books,
I for one would very much appreciate it if you could get this one submitted.
