hint to recent PhDs wishing to publish their dissertation as a book

    I also think it’s a good idea to go over a dissertation (especially the opening chapter) and weed out the comments and references that were really put in to make sure that the committee wouldn’t reject the dissertation. And probably replace those bits with something lively that explains to a reader why the whole thing is so interesting and important.
