No chapter/section names.
Why bother even publishing this on Audible if you don't include chapter names. Who thought that was OK? News: it's not OK. It's not just "not OK", it's an insult to both the authors and the readers/listeners. Especially considering how detail oriented the authors clearly are.
Did you simply rip the audio files from Manning, slap some figures into a PDF and throw it up on Audible? Is this even legit? Is money even going to the authors? Are they even aware? It's just so incredibly sloppy that it's hard to believe that someone actually thought this was OK. There's not even a table of contents!?
