Yes, but at least every book has an editor and a publisher, which is not the case with many electronic resources.

As a former graphic artist, and current computer user who just received an author published tome, I can tell you that it really doesn't take that much to put out in hardcopy. It's just initially more expensive, sometimes ultimately more so.

Just sayin'.

Actually, I should add to that, because I see something going on here at RIU that I think is.. fixable. Verifying information, or proving veracity. People tend to sometimes regurgitate information without first proving or disproving the likelihood of truthfulness or actual data. I always try to double-check sources and information. It can be revealing, especially if you find that some proponent of a product has a vested interest in promoting it and gives out false information. Shark cartilage and coral calcium "purveyors" are two such that come immediately to mind. Oh! And those Japanese suck-the-toxins-from-your-feet-like-you're-a-tree pads. That shit cracks me up!

That's true. I guess what I mean to say is that - having initially screened a book for boilerplate and seen it's from a reputable publisher - the chances are very good that the book will be fact-checked and better-edited than the vast majority of crap that you find on the internet.

Ah... I've been involved in an (assistant) editorial level, myself. A hobbyist book that required hard data sets along with authors' "touches". That was self-published, but the authors themselves are cited.

WTF, is RUI becoming a place for doing our homework. I thought this was a place for free-lance comment not some college entrance test.
