TKL Financial Planning

Someone asked about buying the TKL Financial Planning book. It will be ready by January 2010. It may be available early in PDF copy at the internet shop (projects.easyapps.sg/ishop). You can get a free copy of draft 6a of this book (90 pages) here.

I am selling some PDF versions of my intelligence quiz and sudoku books. They can also be found at the internet shop. The price is $4 per volume (compared to $7.90 for the printed book).
