I'm writing (to self-publish) a technical book aimed for computer-literate people with no technical background (but who want to get into the field).

In the beginning, I found myself re-writing certain sections.

Now the look and feel is looking more consistent, but as I go along writing the book I find more things that need improvement.

So far I wrote brief introduction, followed by three small chapters. Right now I am about to finish the first big (100 pages) chapter.

Should I stop and proof-read what I have before I proceed or Should I plough through entire book and then proof-read

Thanks!
