Anyone who’s ever written a book will know just how miserably harrowing a process it can be. One of my books involved dealing with an editorial department that would have given nightmares to much better authors than I. When the proofs came back, they were so grimly mutilated that I could hardly look at them; in the end, Margaret had to check the last chapter or two — I just couldn’t hack it any more. Another still gives me the willies, and some editorial decisions on that project live on to blot my scholarly escutcheon, though I fought hard to override them.
So our blogsister Shelley is much to be acclaimed for seeing through to publication her latest book, Practical RDF. We’re throwing our hats in the air, shouting “Huzzah,” and wondering what impractical RDF would be like.
No, don’t tell us — it was just a rhetorical question.
