Adam, thank you for sharing such an experience; it is way more stressful than writing research papers. I think authors need to be appreciated more. I remember my epi Prof told me that he only received so little from the publishers (and his epi textbook was a standard text internationaly at that time).
Thank you Adam for an honest summary of the trials and tribulations of crafting a book - it was also reassuring, as I thought it was just me (blaming my book-writing inexperience and lack of dedicated application for how long and how much mental energy it took!)

Seems highly relatable to my first book experience.

Nothing but respect for someone who, having been through the process once and somehow survived, decides not to take the lesson "never again"!
I feel it’s a bit like deciding to have a second child: “surely it wasn’t that bad really, and we do have all the stuff now…”
