Hey guys!

Look, @Chris (who seems to have commented on a few sites complaining) and all those asking about the ‘free’ promise. We did say that it would be free. We broke that promise and we’re sorry that we couldn’t released it for free. I assure you that the decision to release it for cost was not easy. Collis and I had a long email discussion questioning this idea, and we decided on selling it for $29 because of all the manpower and time and effort put into it.

I promise we both had the right mindset, and we both wanted to release it for free, both had real integrity problems with it. It was a tough decision but we had to make it.

Sorry for the inconvenience, we came up with the Voucher idea as a counter measure for those who would complain about the price. Can’t please everybody I guess. Hope you all enjoy the book and I’m once again sorry that we couldn’t satisfy everybody.

Thanks,

~Harley

ppl, imagine yourself 3 months workin on a project for free. don’t tell me you don’t need to eat, drink, buy shoes, whatever. I would be ashamed by takin one’s sweat and sorrow for nuthin. you buy a book, read it and load yourself with a certain amount of knowledge. that’s something no one can ever take away from you, that’s knowledge. it’s worth some money, no matter what ya say!

I thought this would be released for free? However I will not moan about it, I’ll probably just buy it soon
(I can get it for $19 because I’m a rockstar member woohoo!)

An announcement was made on nettuts that it will be free for themeforest account holders, has this been reversed?

pfff! not FREE?! Who cares, I just bought the PDF and trust me it worth the 25 bucks!

With all the Free information on PSDTUTS, NETTUTS, etc. it seems more then fair to pay al little for this great info…

Thanks alot for this book, I also bought the Rockstar Freelancer paperback, I cant wait!

Collis and Harley really know their stuff, i will definately be purchasing and definately *not* be moaning that its not free. Look at all the free resources that envato are releasing to the community – the screencast series’ for one!

I dont think anyone can legitimatly moan that you have to pay for this book!? think of all the time, effort and resources that Harley have put in!

Great stuff guys.
