I have found this site most helpful and have recommended it quite a few others. Please keep up the outstanding work on the reviews, new products, firmware updates, etc... But this offer is a joke, or a scam by the publisher sent as a part of an e-mail, long after it expired...Thanks

The notice just came out DECEMBER 25! Even with the "goodwill offering" for December 18th no one can download this e-book. :-<

It would have been good to recieve the email at least 2 days before publication, as it was recieved on 25/12/2011. which makes it a good Xmas present

I just received the email today also. After seeing so many others in the same boat, I'm wondering if this wasn't a ploy on the publishers part to "up" the sales of the book. Scams like this only ensure I'll never buy one of his books.

It is a pity for me too. I received the newsletter on 24th of december. I had likely received the book because in february 2012 i go to tanzania, Ngorongoro and the Serengeti. Just this locations are in the book. How can I get it?

I just received notice of this evening around 9:30 pm on December 23rd. Someone needs to update this, and give us an correct date, so we can take advantage of the offer.
