I'm pleased to report that the recent response to this new book has been excellent.
I have received dozens of PMs all with eager interest and desire to purchase.
I thank you all for this outpouring of enthusiasm. I believe the content within this book will confirm that this enthusiasm and support is justified.
Many of you have inquired about the price. Unfortunately I can only provide a ball park figure because I don't yet know the full cost of printing. So, depending on my printing costs I can only guarantee the price will not exceed $60. per copy.
Considering the quality and quantity of content, I think this is very fair.
Here is the table of contents:

VII Moving Multiple Balls……………………….154

Final Conclusions……………………………….181
The rules of the Game…………………………..183
I will continually check and respond to your PMs and your thread posts, and I will provide regular updates on when the book will be available for purchase. I know you all understand that I want this project to be the best it can be not only for myself but for you too. For that reason I ask for your patience. I'm anxious to get it out there just like you.
Thanks to all of you,
Tom Wirth
