#skystorians : tips for how to approach peer review of a book MS? For articles, I'll typically do a first read through, write some impressions, then go back over and get more in the weeds, but not sure how to handle a much longer and more complex piece. Advice appreciated!
Naw I’d say you’re fine-happy reading!
Great way to end and start the year!
