Wow!

Excellent work, this can only help to put PB on the map even more so.

Congratulations Kale!

Awesome!

BUT, does it only ship from USA?!?! No EU site?

Very professional looking offering indeed! Great work

Yes it only ships from the USA but fear not! For an example of delivery times, i bought a copy to test the delivery and to approve the final layout and copy and the book only took 5 days to reach me here in the UK. Not bad going!

I would probably allow more though, just to be on the safe side.

That's great!

It seems to be very very good,
you can be proud of your product.

If business is good, do you plan some translation ?
I think there's also an interessant market in France, Germany, ...

A translation is not planned yet (too costly), but in the future, who knows?

In fact, anyone reading this who is bilingual would you do me a big favour and create a thread about this on the French and German forums please? I know there are a few English speaking people over there. Maybe they would like to have a look.

Congratullations Kale, weel done !!!!

No problem, i will post a free advertisement on the french forum

I know there are a few English speaking people over there. Maybe they would like to have a look.

Yes, for sure.
But i know there's also about 75% of the french forum
who are looking for such a book but in french.

Big thanks for your contribution.

I think i will spent some money, as english language is not a big problem for me...

So, it's here . Good work Gary, it looks very professional and based on the Table Of Content, it seems to cover most of the PB features !

GREAT!

I'll buy it in the near future.

Congratulations!

Thanks for the positive comments guys.
