by the time i'm done reading and taking notes it will probably be reduced to less than 10 pages
but publishers must justify the cost and need 200 pages for 3 ideas

Hey you weirdo, my mother has that book! Yeah, she bought it (and, like, twenty others) with aspirations for some property she has in New Mexico that she no longer has time to visit because the world is a cold dark place and she had to go back to work a few years ago despite having worked for a quarter century as a college professor.
I hope she gets back there at some point. And I hope I can help. Fucking love it out there.
