first buy Dr. Bob Abernethy's
handbook >>> BUY BOOK
>>> But . . . check class
requirements first before buying the book. NOTE: It is simpler now for class
attendees to get the handbook at the 'BUY BOOK' link above rather than us getting it printed and
shipped with associated handling fees and so forth, although buying these books
direct from us is still a possibility if required.
