Hi Tom,

We're considering an "enhanced" USB distribution with extra material
including video tutorials that people would be able to purchase.  In the
meantime, we're continuing to give the course book away for free as PDF.

http://nebc.nerc.ac.uk/support/training/course-notes/past-notes/intro-bl7

Aside from the practicalities of publishing it, there is a lot of
material in there that we've borrowed from sources who may well object
to it being sold on for a charge.

Cheers,

TIM
