What a book needs

"Of all the needs a book has the chief need is that it be readable."

—Anthony Trollope

[The same can be said of articles, reports, letters, e-mails, memos, and anything else you might write.]

That was a dumb mistake, nothing more. I'll correct it, but let your comment stand to fulfill my need to be humbled.
