There won’t be an upgrade option for the Special Edition, but for the Standard Edition, there will be, just as always.

The Special Edition is just that: it’s Special. There’s only thirty of them and I’m making sure the folks who want them most get them first.

Nope. One time only offer.

Get them while they last! They’ll be gone before you know it!

And trust me, they’re worth it. I wouldn’t do something like this about a product I wasn’t proud of. Five friends of mine edited the book and each of them told me the same thing: “This is the best thing you’ve ever written.”

I’m very proud of it and willing to crow about it a little.

In the meantime, you can still get the regular edition if you miss out. And trust me, a lot of folks are gonna miss out. I’ve been getting e-mails all day about it, asking me to reserve a copy for them. No reservations. You get it or you miss out. It’s the only way to be fair.
