Since I am not currently flush with money, like many, I can only offer some minimum/reasonable/negotiable payment for this assistance. Anyone interested please contact me at <a href="mailto:edwardzed@aol.com"><a href="mailto:edwardzed@aol.com">edwardzed@aol.com</a></a> and I will forward sample chapters of the book to you, so you can decide for yourself if this is worth your effort.
