While I am not endorsing the sale of his book, I just want to put in a 
comment in support of Prime Rat.  Despite his blatant use of the forum to 
advertise his publication, a subject that has been addressed ad nauseum, and 
I hope never arises again, I believe selling his book is reasonable.  I  am 
suprised that people should expect him to provide this publication for free. 
 The information is available on this forum, Prime Rat contributes freely, 
and at length on discussions pertaining to his area of expertise, just check 
the archives.  How many of you contacted Bruce Wienke, David Elliott, Brian 
Hills, etc. etc. asking for a free copy of their books prior to purchasing them?

regards,
