If you want to downgrade, you have to e-mail Deno.  They are not encouraging 
this for obvious reasons.  But if you want to you can.  AFAIK, there still is 
no option to pay monthly.  I really widh they would explain why they won't or 
cannot do this.  I think they fear that some will join, download StarOffice 
and other premiuum goodies and then block their credit card from further 
charges.  A risk for sure, but it could probably be minimized with certain 
procedures.  I think they could really increase their revenue as a lot more 
people would join if they could pay that way.

I ordered one.  It was just announced today, so I doubt anyone has seen it 
yet.  Deno posted a link to the TOC on the Club site.  I'm sure some of it is 
a rehash, but it looks to me like it has a lot more stuff than the default 
docs, including server configuration and stuff.  I joined the Club instead of 
buying a Pack, so I don't have the 9.0 manuals, so I don't care much if it is 
a rehash.  Also, Deno indicated in a follow-up post that an html version will 
be going up for Club member access.  That might be a reason to skip the book 
and just go for the club membership.
