What happened to the beta tuning book?

There was a thread a couple of weeks ago, but I can't find it now.

Also never got the request for billing info last week.

No answer to a PM about it this week either...

The last time I heard from them was via PM on the 12th.

I thought it was weird that the thread is gone...

Yep, I got the request for payment, and got that taken care of.

There's a tuning book in the works, will also have several sample tunes included for reference, using different tuning packages. They were looking for some people to review the book before it goes into production. The reviewers have to pay $50 for the beta copy of the book, and 3 weeks to read it and get their comments back in. The final version will have more tunes in it, and the reviewers will get a discount on it, and what they paid for the beta version is applied toward the final version.

Even full price sounded pretty reasonable to me, if the book is as thorough as it sounds.
