<p>Apologies for posting to the whole list (I couldn't find your individual email, Jason) but this is so fantastic to have in open access, and just as great that the print and Kindle versions on Amazon are so affordable. We will add the title to Penn's library
catalog so patrons can find the ebook (PDF) just as any other book in our system.</p>
