Final edition

I'm becoming a fan of "markup," a feature in Word which lets you see editorial changes and suggestions from multiple sources, adopting or adapting them as you see fit. This is part of the Job manuscript which - yes! - gets sent off on Friday. The blue edits are from my university press editor, the green ones from an accomplished alum I've hired to help me get out of my Yankee Doodle editing tizzy, and the red ones are my own. By the end of the process, all the colored boxes will be gone, as I either accept or reject their advice.
