Yes. Does participating in this discussion impact the consequent editions of said books?

Perhaps I didn’t see this answered in the page referenced.

How did you get word to spread to begin with? Google groups?

Is everyone welcome or there’s certain prerequisite?

Thanks for ur time.

I don't understand your first two questions, I'm sorry, and the third question is answered on /bookclub.html (which is linked to from this page).

1. Do authors of the books know about this and participate alongside in order to improve the second edition based on what you guys commented.

4. Have I insulated you in any way by asking these questions? If so - please take excuse.

1. Authors have sometimes participated in the reading yes.

4. Not at all. :)

Can one participate without a Google account?
