Awesome Contribution & Service to Our Jamaican People/Community - by Artley

Your 101 Jamaican Facts publication was forwarded by a friend. I found it quite user-friendly, liked the the easy to follow "101 Facts" further subsumed under other headings of Culture, Politics, Sports, etc., and the occasional Web links were just creative.
The few pictures were also very well placed, a lot more pictures may have served the volume more interesting, to punctuate and reduce the vast amount of white spaces...don't know how that may / would have affected publication costs.
What I did not like however, were the editorial comments sprinkled here and there, which introduced a "lay" component to the volume, since that was not the format utilized throughout. It's as though you introduced a colloquial element, which for me was distracting.
Regardless, THAT did NOT devalue the overall efforts you took to create what I regard as a gem: a publication that I would proudly add to my collection, offer as a gift, or recommend to someone to acquire.
