In your E-book, there are grammar mistakes in some of the titles. That throws me off immediately. Second, I find it hard to believe that ALL of those essays are a top score of 6. I found many errors in many areas in some of them; thus, it makes it hard to believe that they are indeed a top score.
Just letting you know. Have a pleasant day.
