Hi all, All of the "Take Control" guides are on sale for half price for the next week. I'm forwarding the announcement. Most of these downloadable PDF guides are $10 or $15 list price, and that includes minor version updates. They're very readable and you can download trial excerpts of each guide to sample the material and writing style.
