This offer comes from Friends of OpenDocument, the publisher and distributor of the printed and eBook copies. > I imagine the sample copies of LO are complete guides with no missing pages? > And would this be for a complete "Sample copy" of all the guides or would it > be for just one "Sample copy"?

Copies are identical to those anyone can buy from Lulu.com: complete, with no overprinting of SAMPLE or anything else. Whether we provide only the Getting Started guide or any/all of the other guides is negotiable with whoever makes the request. > > Is the math guide getting its ISBN?

However, I cannot include a cover letter (Lulu.com does the distribution), so it might be better to send to an individual who can then take to the Library or add a cover letter and then send.
