I’ve gone through about 1/3 of Powertools, and I’d say the material is

It wasn’t clear on the site - do they use surface or air mail?

I’d love to see a comparison/contrast review of the two books! Can anyone
who’s read both give Allister a quick comparison for his shopping needs?
|
Even now I’ve made my decision, this would still be beneficial I think.
Cheers,
Allister
