What about your book?

I'm leaning toward not reading books (nor arguing on the internet) and just building a vintage-looking version of the Aerodynamic Streamlining Template.
On the back leaf of the books cover, the intended reader which is targeted, is the ' car enthusiast' ( Adrian Gaylord )
and ' non-engineer' ( Professor Joseph Katz )
There's much to be commended for ' Modifying the AERODYNAMICS of Your Road Car.
Mr. Edgar put a lot of effort into the work. And unless one has published, there's no way to understand the effort it entails.
I have taken Mr. Edgar to task with respect to some conclusions which lead to logic-reversals, drawn in the book, especially between page 186 and page 195, however, I do believe in time that this can, and will be resolved.
