Nice to see this digitally. It's much appreciated.

Something odd I noticed when I checked for any published errata or designers notes type stuff to append to the PDF, was that GURPS Mars Attacks isn't listed on the GURPS books page.

Licensed works always require a few extra steps; thanks for your patience. I'm certainly glad to have it in PDF form as well, since my iPad basically is my library whenever I go somewhere.

Huh, that is odd. Thanks, I'll have someone fix that.

Glad to see this in PDF, as that gets you a little more revenue from the people who wanted the game but not at the hardcover price point.

Glad to see the PDF, since now I can search as well as read.

I'd never heard of any of the franchise before the book was announced. Reading it from that viewpoint, I kept on seeing ways to use the plot and themes of Harry Turtledove's Worldwar series with the setting.

It's the same price as the hardcover (which is pretty cheap for a full-colour book), so - depending on your view - you might be getting less value. Although the full-text search is usually enough for me to buy the PDF version after a while. Less of a draw than in the case of more generic books.

Warehouse 23 is showing me $24.95 for the hardcover and $15.00 for the PDF.

You're right. These blasted radio buttons confuse me every time I use Warehouse 23. Thanks for the heads-up. I fixed it in my review.
