Remember, it is MUCH MUCH easier to criticise than to create. It is even easier
to criticise than to edit/fix. "I don't like this/This doesn't work" is
different from "I like this better/I think it would work better this way".

subject matter for a book you should also be able to research people's reaction
to a draft of the book.
The engineer (scientist, designer, whatever) is the expert on what needs to be
in the book. You are the expert on getting it there!
