Ryan's ebook is a great tool for anyone, I wish I would've had this when I first started. Great job Ryan! Also, I agree with PTS - his thread sticky is a must read. Would also suggest Devo's component thread & Mechanic's sticky on grading boards & parts. Whenever someone begins 'escrapping', there's a rush of excitement. Most of us jump in head first, but we'd all probably save our selves a few bucks and many hours if we spent a day or 2 reading all of the sticky's and Ryan's ebook.
