He should also consult someone who knows how to edit games. Nothing like making new players wade through 73 pages of very dense game jargon in chapter 3 before you define most of it in chapter 4. You have to be pretty damn dedicated to make it to the part that tells you how the game works. It is fairly astonishing how horrible the structure of the actual rules are compared to the two early versions I saw.
The first printing got the people who would buy anything on Glorantha. The next one needs to sell to people who want a cool game to play.
