No, but I am working on my own book - it's called "Weighing the Odds that King Yao Won't See This Thread and Tear you a New..." and that's all I've got so far; I'm still working on the title.

Thanks to all for the support. I'm not going to rant and rave because I don't think it would do any good. I just hope that most people will do the right thing. By the responses I have read on this forum, I believe that will happen.

As far as the drafts that I put up on my old webpage (which I took down almost a year ago) - I can not and do not stand behind any of them. They have gone through heavy changes. That includes many math corrections, sentence structures, and general idea presentation. That's why they are drafts, and not published as such. I also had a lot of criticsm that the drafts were tough to understand in some areas - a copy editor has corrected those erros.

I think it's clear that if you are interested in my book, buying an actual book has positive expectancy versus trying to weed out what is right or wrong, corrected or uncorrected, in the drafts.

Again, thanks for all the support from many posters here. I appreciate it!

I ordered your book today. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Should arrive in 4-9 days. I could have tried to find a pirated version, but I'm not a bastard like the original poster that wants your family to starve and die!

Just being melodramatic the second part. I really did order it.

King,

I read a good portion of the drafts last year when you posted them and in the form they were then in I could not have anticipated just how good your book would be. I think people are crazy not to go out and buy for $25 or less a book that will probably help them make thousands over the years. I would not want to rely on your outdated drafts that were previously posted.

seriously, this book is so good, well worth the $25. I hope this isn't true or widespread.

It's gross that someone would even consider posting about stealing a book in a forum ran by a company that makes it's money off publishing.

All this thread is going to do is make people that otherwise may have purchased this book go out and try and steal it.

If it were up to me you'd be banned.

Love always,
Twitch

What's even worse it that King Yao is a regular contributor here and that he posts good content.
