Bonus Content / Access

When first compiled, this book resulted in over eight hundred pages. Then reality set in. The cost to produce, freight charges, retail cost—and the very weight of the thing (The version you are reading now weighs near 7.5 pounds). All the above weighed in on the decision to reduce the number of pages. In addition, the printer was concerned that an eight-hundred-page book simply wouldn’t hang together. We determined the page count could be reduced by making any of the excess material available digitally to general customers. 

The bonus content will be available in two releases. The first release is scheduled on 12/1/21 and the second release is TBA. The content is available as an epub document. 

Bonus Content First Release: Digital Bonus Content - Chapter One

Bonus Content Second Release: TBA

NOTE:  Access to the bonus content cannot and will not be distributed by anyone except the original authors of the digital media provided by Motion Pro, inc.
