Reader resources.
The parts that work better on paper.
Two worksheets from The Glasses Rush, every source behind every number as a live link, and a changelog so you can tell whether the copy you own is current.
The four gates from Part Two with score boxes and an evidence line under each, so the score gets written down instead of drifting upward in your head.
The seven questions from chapter 13, with space to answer them. Keep each quarter's sheet; the comparison is where the value is.

Be told when a new edition is out
The book is revised when the market moves. Kindle does not always push a revised file to a device that already has one, so this is the reliable way to know. Two kinds of email only: a new edition, or a chapter 13 trigger actually firing.
