How? The book is "open source" but only a pdf is provided (AFAIK). It seems to be written in microsoft word or maybe open office? Is a doc file available somewhere? Also, as far as conversion to a Sage book, were you planning on doing this yourself, but are just wondering if there is further interest from others? > > Ted > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "sage-edu" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected]. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/sage-edu?hl=en. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-edu" group.
