    1. Introduction

      This should be your book cover and include the title of the entire book, not just this section.

      to show what?

    1. nfuses future audiences about what is intentional or not

      How is this relevant? Is longevity the intention of a text> And isn't context always associated with textual meaning? even by proxy? This needs to be teased out some more.

      Need sources for biographical information.

    1. nce,

      (UX). Indicate its abbreviation throughout. You may want to do this at the beginning of each chapter. Reintroduce it (use it) in its full text name, then show the abbreviation. Just so you reader can follow your terms.

    1. "black mirrors" in a device-oriented society. I think we should instead be more concerned with the "black boxes"

      This needs further explanation. Maybe even a page that unpacks these and compares them.

    1. Music, poetry and sign language

      These seem out of place for the academia discussion. What is your intention to include these? I think it's very interesting, but needs some more signposting.

    1. wo key components in academia.

      I think in your first page of this Introduction you need to outline and introduce YOUR scope of secondary orality. That is, the education/academia side of it. You explanation of terms is excellent, but your argument/scope is barely present.

    1. he second factor was the mechanical disadvantage of the printing presses from East Asia

      I still think you can gesture to why this was an issue. It seems fragmented to mention this here, but explain it later. Yes, you can explain it in more detail later, but your reader should know what you mean after reading this page (even if it is not the most in-depth analysis).

    2. These three factors will be discussed more in detail later in Chapters one and tw

    1. “The last 150

      No quotes for a block quote. Why italics? And, as I have said in ALL of your drafts, you need to explicate and explain these long passages. In Scalar you can have text boxes or highlighted quotes (in header areas even), but you still need to make them relevant by engaging with them. Fix this and all other instances.

I'm thinking even of footage from the Kennedy/Nixon debates, which were the first to be televised (and showed the public's bias of Kennedy's good looks)? Is the issue with newspapers how they read? Or is there a page that can be devoted to newspapers and the printing press (industrial)?

    1. Female authors now are widely accepted and praised.

      Not necessarily. They are more mainstream, but there is more at stake with being a female author than distribution. Your paper gets at this, but you need to introduce it considerably earlier.
