Speaking as a middle-aged brand-newbie, a glossary would not be
unappreciated. "Regular expression"?
But any written documentation would be great. I do like that Terry is
thinking of an ebook format. With the frequency that he's been issuing
updates, that's probably the only viable option (assuming he would like
to keep the book up-to-date).
Seriously, I have to echo my thanks for all your work on this. It is
seriously cool and totally great what you've done.

Over the past two years, I've occasionally done a few MarcEdit workshops, and one of the reoccurring requests that I get from people - is a request to write a how to; something that goes beyond the help file and YouTube videos providing examples, instructions, tips and tricks.

At present, I'm toying with something like:
