Some of the links on this forum allow SMF, at no cost to you, to earn a small commission when you click through and make a purchase. Let me know if you have any questions about this.
IMHO, after having done a comp and from what i've learned, those turn in pics at the bottom of the page aren't that impressive, but that team does very well at every comp they're in!
I do not have the book but I did subscribe to the newsletter some time ago. I figured that if I received good info from the newsletter then the book would be worth the asking price. As I said I do not own the book.
