Yes, but the offer expired December 7; the book is still available but $99, now.  The comment re/ relaxing in the easy chair with the book reinforces my refusal to get the "Electronic Version" of anything. I don't have a Kindle, lap-top or i-pad and if I did it is not the same as the book-in-hand version.

I love this book (except for the binding that won't hold it up). The tutorial part is the best I have seen and the photos of finished guns with comments are priceless. I especially appreciate the observation that most contemporary engraving is not really historically accurate. Also the point that learning how to engrave is easy, learning what to engrave is not. I predict that this will eclipse Meeks as the go to book for longrifle engraving.

I got my copy 4 days ago. I can't put it down. Thank you Mr. Shippers for the most informative book I have read.
