Robert....

Thanks for the kind words!

You're getting ahead of yourself -- and me! -- with a mention of Volume 
4! You trying to wear me out?

Seriously.....

RunRev and I had some long talks about the best way to handle 
publication of the next volumes of the book during MacWorld San 
Francisco in early January. Our plan at the moment is as follows:

1. I will release each chapter of Volumes 2 and 3 as I finish them, in 
electronic book form, first to those who have paid $197 to become 
Leaders in the RevolutionPros community at 
http://www.revolutionpros.com. That's my agreement with them. They get 
first crack.

2. Once they've had it and have reviewed it and commented on in it, 
I'll make whatever changes are appropriate, then release it to RunRev, 
who will put a cover on it and list it in their online store at a 
(typical) charge of $5 per chapter. Those who want any or all of the 
chapters as they are released rather than waiting for the full eBook 
can do so as each chapter is delivered, on a pick-and-choose basis.

3. After we've published all the chapters individually this way, we 
will compile and release Volume 2 and then Volume 3 for public 
consumption, in eBook form and, as soon as practical afterward, printed 
form.

So if you bought the eBook as part of joining RevolutionPros.com for 
$97, then you will automatically receive Volumes 2 and 3 as they are 
compiled and released as complete books. The same is true if you joined 
at the $137 level; you'll get all three eBooks as they are published 
and 50% off the cover price of the printed books as they are released.

If you bought Volume 1 on the limited-edition sale RunRev staged during 
December and January up to MacWorld Expo, then in order to get Volumes 
2 & 3, you'll need to join RevolutionPros.com at one of the three 
membership levels. If you're willing to wait for the printed books, 
then you don't have to join anything, just buy the books when they're 
available.

I hope this is clear. I'm going to post these same instructions/notes 
on my RevolutionPros.com Web site to make the new plan perfectly clear.

Nobody gets less than they bargained for this way, but we can start to 
release the chapters of the next volumes as we get them rather than 
making an eager community wait 3-4 months while we compile an entire 
book's worth of chapters.
