(view spoiler)[Jolly good! I'll go ahead and post on Goodreads and Amazon UK, I can always revise the rating for a later edition. Let me know if there's anything you think is unfair, or perhaps you'd like me to remove any spoilers rather than just flag them? (hide spoiler)]

Great, thanks! I don't want to influence your reviews in any way. What I read looks very fair to me - and I don't see many spoilers :)

(view spoiler)[Grand! (not many);
16 The Communist Party
60 Factories not foundries?
73 A crucial
96 too little
107 they not the
145 "manageably"?
189 "brought" not "led to"?
211 is "rotated through deniably" an unfinished sentence?
Sources would be the difference between 4 and 5 stars! Just a list of dated sources at the end of each chapter would be a selling point for people like me (uptight!). (hide spoiler)]

Thanks so much, I truly appreciate it! I'll incorporate those suggestions into an updated version, and I'll think about including the sources too.
Your feedback means a lot to me. It's genuinely heartwarming to know someone took the time to read my work so closely. A little embarrassment over those spelling slip-ups is a small price to pay for the insight!

(view spoiler)[Hello Andy, I thoroughly enjoyed your book. I should tell you I'm not an author, just a translator, but that at least makes me good with technical issues! I noticed some typos on the way, and if you're interested in these I can send them here (for a future edition?). I intend to post a 4 star rating (only the lack of references detracted for me) but thought I'd await your response. (hide spoiler)]

Hi John, thanks for reading and giving feedback! Please feel free to point out any issues, spelling or otherwise. I was thinking about adding a reference section, and I even have a bibtex file ready, but in the end my view was that most people are unlikely to be interested in it. After all, it's not a scientific book, but more of a general public reading.
Your honest review of the book will be most welcome!
