GOOD GRIEF! They didn't even correct typos but they keep pushing for me to buy, buy, buy and buy some more. The sad thing is that all the people who have read it loved it.

I think you should mention <a href="http://www.duotrope.com" rel="nofollow">Duotrope.com</a> as a good search resource and <a href="http://www.anotherealm.com/prededitors/" rel="nofollow">http://www.anotherealm.com/prededitors/</a> as another good research tool, though lacking in its organization in comparison to Duotrope.
