If you ever wondered why readers claim independent authors still need editors and copyeditors, look at this book. The spelling was atrocious: "Arctic" is frequently misspelled "Artic," "ice floes" was misspelled "ice-flows" - you get the idea. Particularly annoying was misspelling the native Inuit tribe name as "Intuit" as if they were a software company. The grammar errors were frequent but less intrusive. The title is misleading for a travelogue only spends the middle third of the book near the Arctic Circle. At that point I quit trying to read it and just looked at the pictures, which were gorgeous (more so on my color Kindle for Android than my e-ink Kindle 3, and the sole reason I didn't rate it at 1 star) but there weren't very many of them and there were no captions or references in the text. The narrative was unfocused; the description of the business convention was particularly useless to the reader, the Dick Smith stories were amusing but again irrelevant to a visit to the Arctic Circle. This could have been a lovely travelogue with tough editing and many more photos, but as sold, it is simply irritating. If I had paid money for this, I would have been aggravated.
