    Include the bad, too

    1. The book absolutely needs readers' letters too.

    2. Include a few columns where you screwed up with some lousy advice (not hard to find), and much better advice was forthcoming from readers

    3. Some meta-comments would be great - about the Big Themes from advice seekers (I screwed up my life 20 years ago/my parent hates me/my best friend eloped with my husband/etc)

    4. Some meta comments about giving advice.

    You definitely need more material than just original letter + your reply.
