    Lulu site:
    Just as information and not specific to the shaper book, I have not had good luck with the Lulu site, download didn't happen and emails to the site went unanswered, this was about 10 months ago, monetary value was quite small. Alan.

    I bought it. Each to their own, but IMO ... not worth it.

    Default Nem shaper book

    Could you give us an idea why you think it is not it is not worth it? Surely in book of 500 plus pages there must be some useful information for the shaper enthusiast?

    I bought it as a punt - didn't know what the contents were. About 60% of the book is building a gingery shaper at about max 20 lines of text per page so. The rest of the content is the columns you'll find online (Google the author's name) looking a bit like a sort-of printed web page - ish. No desktop publishing here. No table of contents or structure, just stuff already available online + gingery build. Not that the gingery build isn't interesting.

    I got the epub version not the printed book, but in my opinion, that is just a waste of trees. If you're keen get the epub, cheaper.
