I wish!

For those of you have who have ordered it, please post some reviews when you have a chance, both here and on Amazon's website. Having invested 6 months of my life into that book (the original manuscript was over 600 pages), I would love to see it gain widespread acceptance among those that could benefit from it and those that might just find it a helpful resource in terms of having easy access to all of that info all in one place. I certainly did not write this for the money (it doesn't pay well at all) and the pay off for me would be to see people enjoying the book and getting value out of it.

Also, for those of you not seeing it on store shelves locally, please let the store managers know there is a demand for books like this. If they don't hear from customers, they won't order and will stock only Oprah books and exciting stuff like that. On the other hand, if they think people will buy these if they have them on the shelf, they will order -- but they need to hear from us that we want them to stock titles like this.

It is meant more as a high-performance reference guide, than as a "how-to" on specific projects. Still, as a reference guide, it is pretty comprehensive.
