A proofreader is required for the final version of a 348-page book covering the history of early explorers and first contact on the northwest Pacific coast of America. Responsibilities will be:
- Reviewing consistency and accuracy of spelling, grammar and style with particular attention to details such as accents on Spanish names and locations.

Editor (Published June 25)
A resident of Vancouver aged 72 is seeking an editor to assist him in writing a political memoire. The memoire would be far-reaching in its scope, aiming to provide an overview of the 20th century and an analysis of why the dreams of the 1960s generations for a world of peace and social justice appear to be difficult if not impossible to achieve. Today’s world is descending relentlessly into the global warming emergency and endless wars. The writer is a lifetime socialist and Marxist in political outlook and has lived a lifetime of political activism (for good or for bad) since the age of 16. I will inform any interested editors that since 2011, I have published three, successive websites of political analysis. My current such website, since April 2024, is here: https://multipluralworld.com/
