Isaac, 

Do you happen to know what the restrictions on the pdf ebook are? I was going to buy it, but I had a bad experience with a pdf ebook from another publisher, which had it locked down so much that it was difficult to do simple things like copy small amounts of text.

I looked on the U Ill Press website, and its silent on the question.
