» Why an ebook?
We like the feel of a paper book and, despite the hype, we don’t think paper pages are going anywhere. But for topics like this, an electronic book is ideal.

Low cost – we can supply a comprehensive guide faster and for less cost than a paper book.

Adobe PDF’s offer features you can’t get in a paper book:

Immediate Searching – look for any text in the book in an instant.
Desktop Searching – the book is designed so it can be indexed and searched by any desktop searching tool that supports PDF files.
‘Clickable’ Table of Contents – click on any heading in the contents list and you’ll jump right to that page.
Bookmark Tree – open the bookmarks pane to see the whole book in outline form (like the Document Map in Word).
Resizing. You can change the Zoom setting in Acrobat Reader to make the text larger and easier to read.
Portability – take the ebook on your notebook computer without adding extra weight to carry around.
Web links - just click on a link in the book and it'll open in your browser. No need to retype links from a paper page.
Attachments - our Certificate Gallery of ready-to-use examples is included within the e-book itself. No need for separate downloads.
Printing - unlike many ebooks we give you the option to print out pages. We don't suggest that you print the entire ebook, just any pages or chapters you wish.
