If you’ve poked around their web site, it looks like these kinds of books are very limited, and will probably retail for around $400-$500 !

Ron, if that’s true then somebody is milking the cash cow…

Guess they weren’t ready to announce the new book yet, as they’ve removed the text from that page.

…and now they’ve removed the page entirely.

Oh man,why i’m not surprised.Thanks Ron.
