Jess Scott Hi Ren,

Thanks for your interest in the book! I've added your name to the list of reviewers, and will let you know once the PDF is ready.

I'm hoping I can finish by February 2011, but I will "take a bit more time" if necessary (currently in my last semester of college / looking forward to finishing).

Best,

Jess.
