(Emphasis added)so you thought this book that sells for $16.95 should have been an encyclopedia. Its a grow book, explaining how to do this.
And that's the problem, it doesn't explain HOW, it just shows you what they did.
I'm not aware of any state that doesn't have a Target, Home Depot, Lowes, or Walmart. It took me a few hours but if I found lights at almost all of those places. If I were writing a book for newbies I would have added that simple information and saved hundreds of man-hours. And that's my point. If you are writing a book for newbies you NEED to include this information. The book sells itself as a complete resource and it isn't.And of course we all live in the same state and can visit the same stores...
Ah, I see you're not interested in an adult conversation but please do refrain from being rude....maybe he should have just gotten everything together for you and delivered it with the book.
Again you are letting your emotions rule you. I've found that it's better to let your ideas get you attention than your behaviour. 'Nuff said.They may have even looked at a book on electric wiring instead of expecting one book to have every bit of information they could ever use as a newbie.
The point I was making is that if they forgot to tell you something as simple as connecting the wires what ELSE have they forgotten to tell us?
You're right; I assumed since these were very simple complaints merely pointing out these faults would be sufficient.Constructive critism usually includes ad idea of what you would do to improve, and writting a 6000 page book is not an option here. VV
So to clarify:
1) If you include instructions make sure they are complete.
2) Include common sources for materials used.
3) Include more information on HOW to do what your book purports to teach. More than 8 pages in an 80 page book.
That being said I thank you for your reply and I look forward to anything else you might be able to add to the dialog. You are clearly an experienced grower and I hope to learn from that experience.
