Book Review: Good job on the content, editing and flow need a little work

I am using this book currently in my torts class. The content is solid however the editing is poor. Grammatical errors can be found throughout the text.
Summary of Torts and Compensation: Personal Accountability and Social Responsibility for Injury (American Casebook Series)
This easy-to-use doctrinal favorite incorporates many cases decided within the last several years. It emphasizes personal injury torts, including civil rights torts, but also covers non-tort systems of compensation, including social security and workers' compensation. Several chapters deal with current medical malpractice and products liability law. (The malpractice chapter has a new section on nursing home liability.) Shorter chapters cover economic and dignitary torts such as defamation, privacy, fraud and others. In approach, this book attempts to present basic concepts such as duty, negligence, cause, scope of risk, and comparative responsibility by using cases and notes that ask for thoughtful analysis and synthesis, as well as respect for facts and policy. The book also investigates such current issues as tort reform and apportionment of responsibility.General Books
