Questions

Do I need to own bitcoin to read this book?

No. Most readers own none when they start.

Do you ship outside the United States?

Not for signed copies yet. Amazon ships the paperback to most countries.

What if my book arrives damaged?

Write to me with a photo and I will send another. Bitcoin payments cannot be reversed, so I replace the book instead.

Is there an audiobook?
