I am considering reading this book, and this is great to hear! It definitely makes me want to read the book even more!

I always assume a book was professionally edited anytime I don't find myself distracted from the book itself by the grammar issues on the page. It's possible that Cyrus Ansary is just a very competent writer, but my bet would be that this was edited professionally.

From the flow and the lack of serious errors it is safe to say that the book if professionally edited. Good editing enhances reading experience and this book did not disappoint.

Yes. A book was professionally edited doesn't only mean that it have few or no grammatical errors. The writing was easy to grasp and flow with, so yes the book was professionally edited and formatted
