Note%about%this%E-book! A brief but serious note and request. If you have bought a copy of this e-book from the publishers, then thank you very much for your custom, and I do hope you enjoy the book. However, please do not pass along a digital or printed copy of the book to your friends or clubmates – if anyone expresses an interest in acquiring a copy of the book, please suggest to them that they buy a copy from the publishers. The book is not particularly expensive, and every sale will help to support further book and DVD releases. Fallen Rook Publishing is part of Triquetra Services (Scotland), a charitable organisation in Scotland with registration number SC042086 from the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator. All proceeds and income from book sales go towards supporting our charitable activities, including all of our educational programmes. In the current economy, finances are tight, and there is relatively little by way of grant funding that can support our activities. We have to generate our own income to be able to continue delivering our educational programmes, and Fallen Rook Publishing is one of our income streams. Every book sale does help the charity’s finances, and it is important that we ask that you do not become the source of pirated copies of this book. If you have acquired a copy of this book without paying for it, then please consider making a donation to our organisation. We will appreciate your honesty and integrity.
