Is there a sample chapter? It's hard to know if I want to purchase it without knowing anything about how the book is written or whether it tried to achieve its purpose.

Can't you download it for free, look through it and then "re-purchase" it for a price you feel is fair ?

Love the business plan. Also love the format in terms of interviews. I have over the years learned more from interviews and just watching someone's workflow and them doing day to day "mundane" work than offical teaching sessions.

I am always surprised how experts in fields under value their own mundane work. If people would just share the studpid day to day stuff people would find great value in that even more than their more advanced work.

Experts are the one's true genious is the things that are easy for them and not neccesarily the advance stuff.

Based on my interest in this field I am willing to pay around $5 for the book. However I agree that it is not a fair price. What should I do? Note that it is not a matter of money. I could afford the suggested price or even more but I am not that interested in the topic.

Downloading for free is not morally acceptable for me, I would like to support this business plan.
