Specificity. What makes your book stand above others of a similar topic? Additional information. Provide general pertinent information, such as: · Current stage of the manuscript and when do you anticipate completion · How many pages is the final manuscript going to be? · How many line diagrams and pictures are there? · Do you plan to include any special features (i.e. fold-outs, colour graphs/pictures).
