As someone who plays around a *lot* with descriptors, I would be interested in reviewing it. I may not have the same knowledge as a core developer, but I can still help.

Hello Python Developers!
I'm writing a book about descriptors, and I'm hoping to make it a comprehensive guide, covering just about everything there is to know about descriptors, including many tips to get past certain knowledge barriers and how to avoid certain pitfalls. I'm hoping for it to become the definitive guide for those who want to really understand descriptors. Raymond's Descriptor HowTo Guide is great, but focused. I want to expand on what that guide teaches.
Anyway, I am currently reading through my initial rough draft and making corrections for a revised draft. Once I'm done with that, I'd like a few volunteers to read through it. First, to find spelling, grammatical, or consistency mistakes, though those should be few in number, but also to give input as to whether something seems too repetitive, if some more information should be given in a spot, and if I'm even blatantly wrong about anything (hopefully not).

Anyone who helps will be able to receive a free ebook of the final copy as well as mention in the Special Thanks.
I appreciate any help anyone can give to assist in making this book as great as it can be.
Thanks,Jacob Zimmerman
