* For most classes, participants should 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 direct from us is still a possibility if required.
