The example looks correct to me, but quality 15 is rather high. Assuming 
  Communication 5 and Good teacher, the maximum quality would be 14, 
correct? So beyond that, he would need to lower the level twice. So this 
guy, beyond being munchkinized to a teaching machine, needs Perdo at 
level 38 to produce such a book. Unless *I'm* making a mistake 
somewhere? :-)
