Kamado cookbook $1.99 on Kindle

Chris Grove's The Kamado Smoker and Grill Cookbook is currently on Kindle for $1.99. Regular digital price is $16.99. For two bucks I picked it up.
I would highly recommend this book for kamado beginners; it concentrates on techniques rather than recipes. Grove describes a technique, explains how to do it on a kamado, gives a recipe, and then suggests the reader try something similar on his/her own. Everything is pretty much spot on, including slow smoking, fast smoking, caveman and reverse sear, elevating and lowering the grate, Dutch oven, maintaining the fire, hot tubbing, whatever you can think of.
Even for an experienced Egger, it's worth the $2, with chapters titled "Because You Can" and "Coordinating Cooks" among other advanced topics like "Salt Block Cooking" and "Sous Vide Cooking".
This is is definitely an addition to BGE knowledge, and not at all competition. In the introduction Grove recommends joining a forum that is specific to your tool, or a general BBQ forum that includes a kamado section, and he gives a shoutout to events like Eggtoberfest. And a specific shoutout to user Richard FL here on this forum, so some here might know Chris Grove.
Highly recommended. Even if you buy it and disagree, all you're out is $2.

Thanks for the heads up!
I had downloaded the sample for that many months ago but for $2 I agree that it's a no brainer so I went ahead and bought the full book.“Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.” ― Philip K. Diçk -

I agree @Mosca, I picked up the hardback version over a year ago. Very good book. For anyone that doesn't have a Kindle, you can get a free app from Amazon to read on other reading devices or your computer. https://www.amazon.com/gp/digital/fiona/kcp-landing-page?ie=UTF8&ref_=sv_kstore_4
