*It is important to actually download the eBook to your Bookshelf rather than just viewing it online. Downloading the book provides you with better printing options should you wish to print anything and offers permanent access to your eBook. Please note that online eBook access is only available for one year from your purchase date. Permanent access is available by downloading your eBook to your Bookshelf. There is a $2 fee to have a replacement code issued to you should you neglect to download the eBook within that year time frame.
