I'm backing Byron on this!!! I think there would be enough demand to warrant a reprint & aslong as sold as a "revised/updated" version (a simple redesign of the cover would be all that is needed) then the original copy owners will have nothing to worry ab |

Why is it Warren and Ben's responsibility to ensure that older copies retain their value? Were these books sold with a guaranteed profit forecast? The fact is that many of us who are not in clubs etc had no knowledge of the book until we got the internet.

I 100% back you Warren. Your book, your decision. I still reckon they would sell using Ebay, but again I fully understand where you are coming from. |

Not all is lost. You can always ask here. Never be afraid to ask anything, and as long as it's not insulting or rude there is no need to apologise. I'm sure Warren would agree. |

Some simple checks for yourself would be :
