I missed that entirely - I saw the top of the dedication page and assumed it was all dedication page, like most books. I think most people will do the same. That intro, though, is a tell, not a show. I want to sample some pages further into the book to see if the promises made in the intro are fulfilled.

Looks like we were talking about two different things. wccrawford was talking about the preview, while we were referring to the "sample"... <sigh>.

You're right. I didn't bother with the downloadable sample because I assumed it would be the same as the 'look inside!' preview on Amazon.

I have been talking about the "look inside" preview on Amazon.
