Title: Short, but Repetitive and Long-Winded
Review: This book is short and a quick read, but even at that it's a real waste of time. The author repeats himself over and over again throughout the book. And what he's repeating was barely worth saying once - double space, think about the title, you have to revise your dissertation and don't just send it to a publisher as is. As a matter of fact, that's pretty much all the book has to say. If you want a more serious book that will actually help you understand how editors think, get Rabiner's Thinking Like Your Editor. It's not specifically for the academic book market, but it's both more informative and a better read.
