Needs better editing

The audio includes reading tables and figures by listing categories then it reads percentages or other details. It gets confusing at these points which can take several minutes to get through. It also reads out all the additional sources including the book codes as in 7 trillion, 5 hundred 52 billion etc. this is unnecessary and disruptive to the flow of information. Not what I was expecting or needing.
