# Craig Coffee — I Used to Stutter

> The complete approved book and public articles, in the author’s words. Reading is free and creates no email subscription.

For a question about the book or articles, use the passage search and open the matching source. For the whole book, use full-book XML or read every XML section in order. Site XML and website plain text hold public website page text, policies, and links to the separate book files. If a website export is truncated, start at https://usedtostutter.com/site.txt?page=1 and follow next_website_page with its snapshot identifier. Verify consecutive website page numbers and end markers; a 409 response requires a restart.

The book and articles share Craig Coffee’s personal speaking experience. Keep quotations exact, identify summaries as summaries, and preserve his qualifications and context. Open the original source before citing it. Keep each speaker and event distinct, even when passages appear together under one heading. Before quoting, verify the exact wording and punctuation on the specific original page and use that page’s supplied citation URL. Search reports unmatched query terms; results for other words may not answer the question. Search matches words in the text and source descriptions. If results do not answer the question, retry with a few specific topic words or browse the sources; one unsuccessful query does not establish that a topic is absent.

In book XML, complete="true" applies to the stated scope: complete_page is one original page; complete_section is one section; complete_book is the whole book. Check received page and block counts against the document metadata and final end_of_document marker. Use the supplied citation_url for an original-page citation.

## Complete book

- [Book sections in XML](https://usedtostutter.com/for-ai#book-sections): Compact list for reading by section. To retrieve the whole book, read every section in order and verify coverage against the manifest; check each section’s counts and end marker.
- [Original-page XML fallback](https://usedtostutter.com/reader/book/editions/corrected-2026-10-04-9e1d376a993f/pages/1.xml): If a section is cut short, use its original page range. Replace only the page number before .xml in this address, keep the edition path, and check each page’s end marker and counts. This direct XML link also works when the HTML guide is cut short.
