I suggested the following corrections to be incorporated in the text of my book Stories of Love and Beauty. They did it perfectly. Improved version of this book is going for second print run now with a different paper. The weight of the book would be less than the earlier one due to the imported buff paper. Those looking forward for this improved version may contact the publisher on how to get it.
