Direct references within the text would be a logical step in doing so.

This is certainly what I believe needs to be done. For example, in the example that I gave if you would have written something like "What follows is an example similar to what appears in HPFAP..." I would have no complaint.

You need to understand that doing this sort of thing will enhance your work, not take away from it, and it will make you welcome on forums such as these and allow you to deal in a more direct way with authors and publishers such as myself.

So please let me know when the next printing/edition of your book is available. By the way, if you need an example book where lots of references are made you might want to look at my Gambling Theory and Other Topics. You will see that by doing this it not only made the text better, but it gave me more credibility as a serious author in this field.

Best wishes,
Mason
