No trolling at all. It's exactly what it needs. Thank you.
I'm stuck reading it from my POV and that's not good. Need others to do what you did.
Yes you can post the replies here, include mine to you, as well please. I'm' off to do some walking the dog.

OK, well as I just said in the email, this is what I sent to you... But your reply in different colours etc, would be a bit hard to reproduce here, so as its your thread, I'm sure you have the right to reply lol
I sent:
OK, well its obviously not finished, because it kinda drifts off into your personal notes at the end, but thats fine. You never said it was the finished article, so fair enough. I am also sure that you are aware that there are a few grammatical errors, but nothing a good proof read wont fix...
I also understand that it is aimed at 1st time shooters (Total Noobs) and as such, I cant really find anything wrong with it.
I'd have to say that a lot of the sections are things that you have posted here on GFY before, such as the 27 poses, and the advice on the girls periods etc, but thats OK cause most of the people who would be reading it, would be unaware of GFY, and therefore its new to them...
In essence, its not GREAT... But its not terrible either. It does however, IMHO, need a lot more 'Meat' in it, before its saleable...
Most of the stuff you discuss I know anyway, but only due to my own 20+ years of shooting experience. However, with that said, its still stuff that I LEARNED OVER TIME... and therefore would have been handy to have all in one place, for a beginner...
Theres a couple of things I DONT agree with, (Regarding the talking to the model section) but thats not down to protocol. Just not the way I would do them - But then I am not you, and what you could say, as a friendly looking older guy with a camera (Uncle Paul?) simply would not work for me...
I also didn't like the sub heading of "Everything is up for grabs at a casting" - To me, that just sounds really pervy...
You include a simple form for the model to fill in - Pre Shoot - But dont include a sample model release and 2257 forms that can be printed off and used by the photographer... Perhaps add them in?
Finally, you list you 'Order' of things on the day of the shoot, which ends up with "paperwork' Then 'Pay the model'... While you are used to doing it this way, I would recommend that the paperwork (IDs Model Releases, HIV Test Scans etc) be done BEFORE you shoot...
I agree to the paying at the end, cause if you give them the money before you shoot, they loose incentive, however, for a new guy, it would make sense to get the paperwork done at the start. Just incase she doesn't have her IDs etc.... Cause if she doesn't, she will still want paying, and you wont wanna pay her, cause you cant guarantee you can sell it legally. But I am not trying to tell you how to suck eggs. I'm sure you know that already. I'm just suggesting that you tell a newbie to do it that way round.
Hope you find the above to be constructive advice and opinions....Comment

Were you not happy because it only existed in your head.
Why not post an email from the publisher with full headers so you can prove me wrong for calling you a liar, it will only take you a hot minute.Comment

Hey Paul,
i read the ebook as you have it now, and here are a few things.
1)I think newbie shooters will find some very valuable info in there. There are common sense aspects which are overlooked when scheduling and shooting and you've covered alot of those.
2)I'm sure you are aware of some grammatical errors in the book. There aren't many but there are some badly misplaced commas which kind of change the meaning of what you are saying, so i would fix those.
3)Photos and videos. Especially now it is imperative that shooters DO BOTH if they are selling content online or shooting exclusives. There are several BIG link sites who accept galleries/free sites and they will NOT accept vid grabs for stills. They want actual stills if you are submitting an image gallery. And a gazillion other reasons.
To repeat- shooters should take stills and video for all content.
4)Reflectors on hand. Don't know how much you get into reflectors but imo they can literally save you in a bind.
They are also very inexpensive.

That's it for now, I think it's shaping up nicely.
