You get it immediately if you buy the eBook.

It would save US a lot of time if people didn't copy/paste code from 
rogue tutorials instead of reading the official info.

You should start by looking at the bottom of each mail passed to the 
mailing list:

Do you see the link to the keywords list?
Many unpaid hours have been spent on that list.
You are trying to "concatenate" two PDF documents.
Then why don't you look for the word Concatenate?

Why complain about addTemplate() being too difficult to understand?
You don't even need addTemplate()!
If you'd asked "how do I concatenate two PDF documents",
you'd received the answer "use PdfCopy" or "PdfSmartCopy".

Instead, you referred to some rogue tutorial and you posted code that 
proved that the tutorial was really bad, or that you didn't read what it 
was about. http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
