Reviewer Briefing

REVIEWING DRAFT SECTIONS OF THE SECOND EDITION
EXPLORING BLACK HOLES

We need all the help and advice we can get from both the expert and the novice on the second edition of Exploring Black Holes. No misstatement or difficulty is too small to consider and correct. Your suggestions are important for the clarity and correctness of the new edition.

Drafts of material that is new or radically changed from the first edition are posted on the following website:

http://www.eftaylor.com/pladropsite/

You can orient yourself with the following three files on that website:

• AJPGuestEditorial.pdf a guest editorial for the American Journal of Physics that lays out our strategy and presents a two-page GENERAL RELATIVITY SUMMARY.
• Contents[date].pdf that lists the contents of the second edition. (For [date] notation, see item 2 below.)
• EBHReviewerBriefing.pdf a copy of this present page.

When you send your comments to us, it will be helpful if you would please observe the following procedure:

1. Send comments to eftaylor@mit.edu
2. Include the exact file name. A typical file name has the form GPS070625v3.pdf This is the Global Positioning System (GPS) Project, created on the date June 25, 2007, the third version on that date.
3. Every draft has line numbers. Please index your comments by line number of that particular file.

MANY thanks for your help. Readers of the Second Edition of Exploring Black Holes will be greatly in your debt.
