Bah, available for free for people in countries who can shop at iTunes you mean. The rest of us will have to learn to live without.
...Or go to other less reputable sources...
Maybe I'll just pick up the book instead.
Don't worry Ted, it's not just you - it's only available on the US iTunes store, not those in other countries (or at least, not in Australia).
*sigh* not available on the New Zealand iTunes store either.
and even if you can access the place, they require you to provide credit card and other information even to do this "free" download. forget that.
Not available in Canada either. Hobo Matters?
