dude!

i dont think that CUCM was ever EVER realeased as ebook by HL. So what you try to sell there is a pirated copy. And besides if someone was to buy it the better option would be to get the classic collection vol. 1.

and what has your post to do with a review??

First of all who said Im trying to sell this book? I had just recieved this book from my friend and I just want to review it here.
Secondly also only joined moments ago (not even a day) So I don't know what to review here. I'd just seen a post from another member and I now know how to post a review on here.

I went out and BOUGHT the real book, supporting Mr Lorayne, Magic, the community and all that jazz, and it is indeed a brilliant book.
Suitable for a beginner, but a professional can find material in there that is workable in the real world.
I wrote a review of the actual book, maybe search before posting. :wink:

If you check the existing reviews, you'll see the sort of layout involved - a list of the contents is useful up to a point but your thoughts and comments about the book and various chapters would be of more help and interest :wink: .
