Bitch (if I may):
Great stuff. I can almost match bad material for bad material, but mine comes in the original English.
I'd be honored if you took a look at my blog, which gives the inside perspective on the mysterious world of the editorial freelancer. I work for everyone from major university presses (Yale, Georgia, Tennessee) to highbrow academic presses (Westminster, Wipf and Stock) to self-publishing authors who write stuff that would, as they say, gag a maggot.
Especially, I'd like to reach out to budding nonfiction authors who need indexes written for their works. Great index = added value = increased sales. Bad index = decreased value = decreased sales. No index often means no library sales.
I look forward to hunting around your blog, and invite you to do the same at mine: boblandedits.blogspot.com.
