Thanks again Todd!!!

Speaking of supplements, another one is in the works. I just started typing it up yesterday.

Scott, if you picked up the book today, I thank you for your purchase. Hopefully, you’ll find some useful information within.

:D I just downloaded the e-book today and started reading through it. I haven't had a chance to put this into action yet, but one thing struck me like a bolt of lightning- You must be crazy to let this go for so little! I haven't gotten to the end of the book, and I will post a full review after I've mastered the techniques and applied them in real life routines. I just wanted to say that I am very, pleased. If you are a doubter, like I am and you wonder if this e-book is worth the price, the answer is simply "no" It is worth at least 3 or 4 times the price. I am excited about this and it's applications. Thanks, Elliot for publishing this. You Rock!
Dr. Todd, as always, your recommendations are spot on.

Check your email and bulk mail folders, folks.

I'll have fairly limited internet access tomorrow, but hopefully most of you got it OK.

For the record, the Switchcraft file available on my site (and also Christopher Taylor's site) now includes:

Switchcraft
The Billet Machine
Billet Proof
Silver Billet
Back from the Dead
Stack Master
CT's Switch
Q 4 U 2


Lulu (as usual) had some difficulty with the upload and indicated that they will get back to me soon. In the meantime, the Lulu version does not include Q 4 U 2. However, in the interim, if a Lulu customer responds to my automated email, I'll manually send it over.

Thanks again,

Elliott

Thanks Mandrake!!

Sorry about that minor glitch with Payloadz. On the plus side, it appears that they addressed whatever problem they had for a few hours the other day.

Perosnally I think this is the best value for money product of the year (decade?).

It seems you get a life time of free updates once you subscribe to the product, which itself was very substantial and worth the money at the start.

It is almost embarrassing to keep getting the free updates. I feel I am cheating Elliot in someway.

I have said it before and I will say it again. Thank you Elliot.

I give Switchcraft my vote for deal of the decade. I got the new supplement which says thats it for now. For now? Seriously, Elliot for all of the hard work on what will become a classic and the information and methods, please consider raising the price. If you master just half of the methods in this encyclopedia of billet work you will have an arsenal of material for performance.

Thanks so much, Mandrake, bananafish and Scott.


Just a quick note, about Lulu:


Lulu has been giving me some trouble lately.

After spending hours with Lulu support staff, the resolution was that the problems were caused by the fact that I had a password for editing the document and copy/pasting data. Apparently Lulu does not allow that, and my old document just slipped through the cracks.

I feel that allowing copy/pasting makes life just a little too easy for potential plagiarists.

Therefore, until I decide otherwise, I removed my book from Lulu.

As of now, Switchcraft can only be purchased on my site:

http://ebswitch.googlepages.com/home

(and also Christoper Taylor’s web site)

Thanks and sorry for any inconvenience,

Elliott

Oh dear oh dear oh dear, why oh why oh why did I read this ? This sounds like an absolute must. There is nothing but praise for this here. I wonder if I can somehow trick my son into believing Santa has brought this for him. He obviously wont understand it, mainly cos he's only two. I should be able to throw in a little misdirection and get it off him. Anyway, enough plotting for now.

Show him a Gameboy or some other toy. Switch it for my e-book, as you apparently place the toy in the stocking. Send him on his merry way.

Muhahahaha!!!

Thanks!! I hope you enjoy the books.


A quick note…

I just released an improved version with bookmarks to help people navigate the files.

Everyone on my mailing list should have just received the new file.

As usual, a few dozen emails bounced. If you did not get the mailing and really want those bookmarks, feel free to drop me an email.

Thanks again,

Elliott
