Well done Josh, this looks like a book I'm going to pony up for on pay day.

How did you manage the editorial, proof reading and technical review aspects of the book? Do LeanPub provide these services or do you do this yourself, if so how?

Authors do this themselves on Leanpub. But the thing is, readers of the in-progress book actually end up providing a lot of that in many cases, by providing feedback to the author via email, Disqus or Twitter. (Development and technical editors function as proxies for readers. We've found that readers also do a good job of that!)

Thanks for the clarification.
