(I sent an e-mail offering to volunteer about 24h ago - no reply so far?)

Shouldn't the title give some indication of the book's contents to people who don't already know what it is? Or at least have some sub-title for this purpose? "Thinking for dummies"? "Rational thought in theory and practice"?

I just replied to the last few volunteers. Do let me know (with your name or email) if you still haven't got a reply.

Hopefully something along the lines of Vladimir's suggestions catches on.
