Comment

For a number of years the whole of The Control Book was available here both as separate HTML pages, and as a PDF file which you could download and print for free. Over this time many people have read the book, and I regularly receive favourable comment about it.

But my website is just a tiny corner of the Internet universe and most visitors tend to stumble upon it and The Control Book more by accident than by design. As an author I am keen for lots of people to read my work, and now a publisher has come along and offered to print and publicise The Control Book. I am hopeful that many more people will now get to see and read it.

For the time being, to give my publisher the best chance at selling the book, I'm taking most of the book offline, and am removing the PDF file from the site. On the left-hand side of this page though, you can still see the table of contents and click on the links to read some sample sections of the book. I hope that you like what you read, and that you seek out the book now that it's available in print.
