This is not a request for a comprehensive review. It's similar to the "work" we all put in writing and responding to posts (or posting about poker books we own).

To act as though I'm somehow advertising or luring people into free "work" is, as I said, nonsense.

I have, since the early 1980s, been a reader for a technical (computer programming, math, science) book publisher. I don't write reviews, I simply write notes in the margins of a galley proof of the book. My task is to help improve the content of the book. I think this is similar to what you are asking people to do here.

For my efforts I get a first run copy of the book with a short, personal "Thank You" from the author and a "gift" of a few hundred dollars.
