[Mason Malmuth]

Hi Barron:

I think you have Roy West confused with Roy Cooke.

best wishes,
mason

Roy West talks about when he cooks and doesn't Roy Cooke live out West?

Same guy?

No.

Nothing to see here.

Excellent -- 3
Very Good -- 19
Good -- 35
Fair -- 23
Poor -- 6

The graph is almost looking like a bell curve here (though not enough data really).

Daniel isn't a professional writer, so like many people he writes more like he speaks, i.e. extraneous words.

He's basically saying that Negreanu's section reads a lot like a 2+2 book.

This might be the one funny thing you ever posted.

Mason, your rewrite made the language more dead, dry, and less flowing. I fail to see this as an improvement.

There was one major improvement in Mason's rewrite though, it uses less space. When you get ~60 pages to cover a game any extraneous word becomes a sin.

That's not how I remember it from school...

When your word count is severely limited information has got to be more important than flair. But this is a pretty tangential discussion.

And 2+2 complaining about the editing of other books is a bit like throwing grenades in glass houses.

Mason-

I love your books but you should fire your "professional" editors immediately. Or at least find some college kid to proofread your books before they are printed. You could probably find a number of people here who would do it for free.

Keep up the good work.

I would like to see some examples of what you guys are talking about SSH and HoH are extremely well written and interesting, SS2 was a chore to read.
