Som,

I'm glad you enjoyed the preview. I've made it available so that
people can gleam the beauty of the BEAD Method without having to pay
for it... I'm also sorry that you couldn't get a quicker delivery.
Lulu does have a 2nd day delivery option but it says "Will deliver by
25 December..." I'm guessing they don't trust the US Post Office to
get it to you in a timely manner.

There is plenty of information in the preview to keep you busy. If
you practice learning to identify your sharp and flat notes using the
BEAD Method you will be ready by the time the book arrives to move
into further study.

I wish I could trust electronic books but I'm a techy by trade and I
can easily break just about any copy protection method if I wish. I
can't afford to let my book get out on the internet. It's also more
helpfull to have a hard copy to make reference to.

Good luck with your study... Keep us posted on your progress.... That
goes for any of you. I would like to hear more about your experiences
using the BEAD Method.

God's speed!
