John,
You are obviously a good paperhanger and take a lot of pride in your accomplishments and your family tradition. It shows! Congratulations! Your pictures are great. I felt like the curious cat when I saw your e-book, and the price was small enough to satisfy curiosity.
You are right about your spelling. It's bad. Perhaps you should have some one proof it for you. The gist of the book is really for the do it yourselfer. Do you realize that the web site you posted your ad on is made up of professionals?
As a professional reading your e-book, I thought you were much too brief, leaving out way too much information. Perhaps you did not want to confuse the average homeowner. I liked your organization and "flow" of the material. To a professional, I find it incomplete and not satisfying. I highly suggest you read Stanly Warshaw's "No Molasses in the Wheat Paste" and David Groff's "Complete Guide to Paperhanging". These books have also been criticized for their lack of content as well, but you will gain some idea of the detail a professional looks for.
By the way, I enjoyed your web site greatly, especially the forum.

Hey Chuck,
Thank you for your imput. It wasnt all good but I can handle it. One year ago I new nothing about computers. I did the whole site and book myself. I read and learned as much as I could. I believe every business these days should be online. The main purpose for the site was for my customers and potential customers. The book was directed to some one who knows nothing about wallpapering. It was away to give them a start without over whelming them. I realize I could have blown them away with much more content. I didnt want to do that. My intent for the book was to help people maby in thier home or to get started in the business. To give them the basic foundation.Maby I should have titled the book for beginners. I had alot of fun doing it and have alot of satisfied customers. I will put more content in my 2nd and 3rd book. They will be for the advanced paperhanger. Its not rocket science !!!
