write a dustjacket-blurb for it?

I'll keep you in mind as a possible reviewer when I finally get round

Must... keep... holding... breath.


Perhaps a line like:

Mr. Dashwood has written this tome entirely to his own

might serve on the dustjacket. BTW, it is loosely based upon a Nigerian

reference, so referees tend to be very creative in conveying negative
attributes.

Thanks Alistair.

I have no idea why you would be negative about a work in progress, but I'm
sure you have your reasons.

Pete.
