Once you buy any edition of a title, you get free access to all future 
editions of that title.  We also have site-wide and world-wide staff 
licenses available for quantity purchases.

There are freely-downloadable excerpts of the books so you can see if the 
book meets your needs.   These excerpts have handy references at the back 
and are useful in their own right, including (in the XSL-FO book) 
hyperlinks directly into the Recommendations.  The annexes on formatting 
objects and properties at the back of the free excerpt is a very handy 
reference and you can instantly jump to the Recommendation from within our 
book if you want more detail.

A note for "Practical Formatting Using XSL-FO" customers: you will see 
above that we've just released a new edition of our book.  Unfortunately, 
some email addresses for customers have bounced so you may not have 
received your notification for your free update.  Please contact us if you 
are missing the announcement of the latest version of your purchase.
