I have about a hundred copies left of the original paperback perfect-bound book. If you'd like one, email me your address for the U.S. Mule to drop its pack and I'll send you one. No charge. Later, if you find it useful (or if you're a collector) you can send something for the cigar box in which envelope and stamp money lies - but that's not necessary. We've fixed typos here, but there's nothing like the heft of a real book if you want to step completely into this on-going seminar. - g.f.
