Ordering Information for the Latest Version of Breathing Walls


             
Breathing Walls: A Biological Approach to Healthy Building Envelope Design and Construction
© 2008 by George P. Swanson, Oram Miller, and Wayne D. Federer, Editor

Since April 2008, pre-publication drafts of this manual have been available in print format.  Shipping & handling charges will be applied to your order.  (Charges will be applied after you initiate the purchase but before you confirm it.  If you live outside the United States, to preview the charges, click on "calculate your total order amount" on the first screen.  You will then have a chance to select your country.)  Texas and Minnesota residents will also be charged sales tax.  

Unfortunately we have not yet set up our e-commerce shopping cart, so the "Buy Now" button only works for single-book transactions.  If you want to order multiple copies of the book, please enter multiple transactions, and we will refund any overpayment you make on the actual shipping handling charges.

Here are your choices (though only the first one is available for the foreseeable future):

          Spiral-bound, laser-printed with black toner on 20-pound paper with 30% post-consumer recycled content. $29.95

                                                                                                             

  eBook , when available, will be freely updatable (see below). It will be a program file (.EXE extension) that will contain an embedded portable document file (PDF).  The program will run on any computer, PC or Mac. (The Mac will need to have an installed Microsoft Windows operating system or a Windows emulator such as Virtual PC.)  Also required will be an installed version 5 or higher of the free Adobe Acrobat Reader and version 5 or higher of the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser, which comes with the Windows operating system.  Other PDF viewers will also be compatible—please inquire.  
(Note: Our eBook version has not been completed and is on hold for the foreseeable future. If you need the information contained in our manual now, we suggest you purchase a print version at this time. If you order a print copy now, a $10 rebate will be applied off the price of the eBook when it becomes available. See below.)
Please sign up for our email list to be informed when the eBook can be ordered online. 

Our secure eBook file will be able to be purchased as either a download or on CD-ROM.

         Download (EXE or ZIP archive)                                                        $19.95

         CD-ROM (including Acrobat Reader 8.1.2 installation program)  $23.95

IMPORTANT: All eBooks will require online activation and registration of an email address before the full text can be viewed for the first time.  Then they will run on a single computer without an Internet connection, although the latter is strongly recommended to explore the many links provided.   Licenses for additional computers belonging to registered users will be able to be purchased for $1.95.

  Bundles,“ will be available, including one spiral-bound printed copy plus one electronic copy, with a $10.00 rebate off the total price of the items purchased individually.  (If you order a print copy now, the rebate will be applied when you order the eBook.)


 


Free Updates: We will periodically make the latest revision of this working draft available as an update.  If you become a registered customer who purchases an eBook version, you will be eligible for free-of-charge updates through our latest pre-publication draft.  We hope this will provide an additional incentive besides its lower price to choose the eBook, when available, which will save trees and natural resources that are otherwise depleted for shipping.  Even more so than most books, this makes sense because all but the final draft version will be superseded by a new one. 

Nevertheless, even though we do authorize and allow limited printing from our eBook, as indicated in the Copyright Notice on page iv (with a relatively unobtrusive watermark superimposed on each output page of the yet to be released electronic version to remind the reader that it’s copyrighted material), we do understand that some customers will have a strong preference and need for a complete printed copy, and still others will find they need both formats because each has its benefits.
