Best AIM book??????
I'm sure that they all are about the same but when it comes to quality, who has the best? Thanks. Also can you download one from a site rather than wait for it to come in the mail?

I like the cd version better than any and mainly due to the fact you can blow up the pictures. We have both the printed and the cd version at this link and you'll save 10 percent with the current sale coupon.

Can they be uploaded? No, I'm sorry we don't have the ability to do that. The file size is too large.
Our cd version has some special features too! Each page has important text embedded in it to help you find what you need with a simple search command. The books are also OCR text converted. So when you open the entire search function it will create you a directory to select from.

I bought the CD version from Willcox and love it. Copied the PDF to my hard drive so I can access it quick and easy. Great product that someone put a lot of time into.

about 2 years none stop to do 61-82Advantages to the CD Version:
You can,
A) Print the pages you want so if you want a paper version you can print it.
B) You lose a page, you print it again. Spill your beer on it.. no problem..
C) add post it notes to the pages
D) Zoom in on pages
E) Find things way, way faster....
F) Create bookmarks for quick reference.
Food for thought.

Hi,
I really do understand the attraction/up-side of the CD version.
I still like my paper version (3rd copy) because I can have several pages open at the same time and can make notes on the sheets.
So an old man still votes for the paper version.
Regards,
Alan

I know Alan.. Some do.. but with the CD version you'd just print another copy vs. buying one...

Yup! I'm all about the hardcopy book too. Books don't crash, computers do.
My wife has one of those digital book reading thingys. Wants me to try one too. I said "Forget it!" I like the feel of a book in my hands and flipping pages. Some things are best left unchanged. Gawd... I'm old.

It's a matter of personal choice. I like the hard copy paper because I read and flip pages. I make notes and high light things. Other's like the CDs.
I do not get nervous if I take the paper AIM out to the garage. I can drop it with no real harm done. I get antsy carrying a laptop.
