Any discount if we buy it direct from you?

Or if we already have the paper version?

For those considering this book, it is worth the money. It helped me with some things I was struggling with in PB 4.0. It has become a valuable resource.

Contact Lulu and ask what was the problem.

I can't place order with LULU..

When I click the Place Order button, nothing happens and back to the page, no order history or anything happened, my CC remains undebted anyway, I can't order it...

Nevermind...

I tries to use Opera and everything is working fine.
Ordered, great book.

It might be free one day, but not yet.

I don't like that you're always pushing yourself...

Always? i wonder what percentage of my posts are marketing? not many i'd imagine. Any how, I don't care what you don't like. If you don't want it, don't buy it, i'll still market this and any other future products in this way.

Thanx Kale:
Is the ebook simply a flat pdf file ? or does it have an active index ?
The online sample suggests just a flat file.

Flat file. It is however fully searchable.
