Thumbs down to the CD. Besides, there will end up being burned copies running around if you went the CD route. We Cdns are notoriously cheap and have no scruples when it comes to copying digital data on a 20 cent piece of plastic.

Either book would work for me, although the addict in me leans towards the two volume set.

Two volumes or more would be best. I echo Robs comments on the CD's

I suggest hard cover volumes- they have an added touch of class and look good on a bookshelf. Count me in for whatever format you finally decide to adopt.

The CD is more economical for me including post to Australia so this would be my first choice as you can make them with a security code to stop unautherised copying. 2 volumn hard cover books would be my second choice and whether I purchase them or not depends on a final price including post.

Good point. As I have my hard cover books printed in China I could arrange for 100 or so to be drop-shipped to Australia, provided I find somebody who would then repack them and ship them on within Australasia. This person would benefit from a wholesale price and would make a profit by doing this. The same could be done for UK/Europe (to Hell with the EU, I always see these as two entities.)

I have a well thumbed collection of books that quite often accompany my cigar and coffee outside. Computer don't reach that far, Vol I & II for me.

Books are a better read
CD's are good also as they allow you to enlarge the pictures for better detail analysis
