Congratulations! Your book is now complete and your free copies are on their way to your doorstep. Your book will arrive via UPS and shipping typically takes 7-10 business days (shipping outside the US may take longer).

It seems the Sand Hill Crane family has two primary goals: to survive, and then to eventually mate. Their paperwork is on the light side. Their execution of their simple strategies – world class.
