I'm sure you do, but unlike me, you're rich. I practically never buy any books, but I'm interested in buying your guides.

When I first saw the $50, I was a bit disappointed and felt like it was expensive, especially for an independently published PDF.

Then I realized that I do want one reasonably bad, and that each book is potentially highly valuable, so I guess the $50 price can be considered justified. It's just that I'd like to buy several, but I'm not sure I'm comfortable doing so at that price point.
