Documents are in PDF format and require Acrobat Reader 3.0 available from Adobe. (Acrobat Reader 2.0 will work only for the LiaN Bonus chapters). Choose "View>Bookmarks and Pages" within Acrobat to see the bookmarks for each included sample chapter. Note that the "page numbers" within the PDF documents do not match the book page numbers printed within the text because the PDF documents do not include all the chapters.

The sample chapters are not printable (after all, I want you to buy the books) but the LiaN Bonus chapters are printable.

Director in a Nutshell

The Director in a Nutshell sample chapters include about 300 pages of material, including:
