How does it compare to Killen's e-book?


I looked at video samples of both part 1 and 2 by Bob Lang. The video is
ok, but IMHO if you miss a point you have to go through the video to hunt
for it again. I much prefer Killen's book. I find the videos very useful
for a single serving but not much of a time saver if you need to refresh
your memory.

Are the videos you refer to the same as supplied with the text on CD?
I think he may have two products out now.


The videos are samples from the first book and the second book.


I like reading text to prep for the video which ties all the knowledge
together.


I was under the impression that Lang's books were strictly video. I thought
they were PDF books but the samples and associated information lead me to
think other wise. I am probably wrong but I would not want just the video,
text and video would be the best of both worlds.
