Hi CC

Awesome book! Just curious about the new aditions. I downloaded the pdf entire book, but it seems to be the 2005 version without the aditions you mention above, or am I just wrong? ;D

Thanks for this wonderful work!

This is a wonderful book that has made the best of many practice methods available in one setting.

Some recommendations to CC and others downloading and reading it.

To protect copyright, consider the Creative Commons or the GNU foundation license.

Consider having another version published formally so that the book can avail of better editing.  If enough interest has been generated by the free text, its likely a candidate for formal publishing.  The text is excessively long and redundant and some sections should be side barred or foot noted, such as the physics of sound, calculations of practice efficiency etc.

The text is so dense, its a difficult read.  Change the font to any sans-serif will improve readability without extending the page length: arial is common.
