I agree to be charged $49 for one copy of "School of Pipsology" in PDF format. PAYPAL is the only form of payment accepted. I understand I'm purchasing a single copy for myself and I won't make copies of the book or distribute it to anyone else. If someone else wants a copy I'll encourage them to purchase their own.
