Nonsense.
I communicated intensely with Chris , the project leader, on this, and
even revised a considerable amount of the material that was submitted
becasue it was wrong, inadequate or incomplete.

Nonsense.
I do insist on a project leader, otherwise communication is much to
chaotic. Someone has to take responsibili8ty to get it done.
The original committee was SEVERAL YEARS past deadline when I began
working with Chris. That is the usual procedure and I've gotten by
scheduling work with a headless commitee.

I certainly used to interfere with projects to make sure they lived up to a quality that I would be proud of.
As far as what is holding up the Prax book now, you will have to ask Chris. I'm not even in publishing these days.
