"The Survival Skills CDROM is a work of genius. I'll definitely be recommending your CD to a few people who I know will benefit
from it." Kevin Wells
I've got [book by well known US writer] and both of the Survival Skills CD-ROMS. Of the two, I found Kevin's ebooks to be by far
the most useful - they're excellent. CBFer on Visordown.com
"Very impressed with layout, methodology, and content. Very well thought out... The overall presentation and content
make your notes a pleasure to read and study." John Clune
"Just what I was looking for, a special present to the wife to congratulate her on passing her test." Tony
"Perfect! Figured out what OSM/PSL means already! I had been wondering! I see many moments passing.... my wife may not be so grateful!"

One question that gets asked from time to time is:
"why the Survival Skills series of CDROMs aren't published in book form?"
There are two simple answers:
- by not going though a conventional publisher, I cover all the production costs which keeps the cover price to you the customer, down
- I retain complete control over the contents and can thus update the content at short notice
