A summary of the aims and scope of the book. (200-300 words) 3. A contents list (including any sub-headings inside each chapter) with a short paragraph describing each chapter. 4. The predicted length of the book in number of words. If the manuscript is likely to be more than 100,000 words, please give supporting evidence for the need for this length. 5. How many tables, illustrations and photographs will there be? Will there be any unusual text features that we will need to consider? 6. Your timetable: what stage are you at now, and when do you hope to complete the manuscript? Readership 7. Please give a realistic assessment of your intended readership stressing the major markets. For example, what level is the book pitched at? If applicable, for which course(s) will it be used? Will it be required for supplementary reading?
