Note from 2006
When this ebook was originally released, it was a very nice hit. It sold plenty of copies on eBay, got passed around virally, and sold more copies here from Raven’s Perch.
Unfortunately, time passes, and this ebook is sorely in need of an update that I just don’t have time to write. So rather than continue to sell an outdated ebook, I’ll just give it away for free now. If you like it, come on back and leave me a comment.
