If you wanted to, you could do just that. It is just that my intention when producing this collection was to, instead, produce a single document bringing together some of my more important posts on MMT to achieve three goals:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>To assist you, the reader, in trying to access that information.<\/li>\n<li>To assist me by referring those making inquiries about MMT to this volume.<\/li>\n<li>To promote understanding of just what MMT is.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I stress that this collection, large as it is, is not the final word on MMT. I still have a strong desire to write a plain-English guide to this subject, which, in my opinion, is still unavailable anywhere. That said, even if such a volume were produced, I think this collection would remain relevant as a sourcebook and, in that role, I hope that it is of use.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">All our PDF guides are available free of charge. I am more interested in education than I am in profit. That said, putting this publication together involved quite a lot of cost. If you feel able to contribute towards those costs when downloading it, I would be grateful. Unless you are feeling particularly generous, I think it would be hard to argue that you are not getting value for money, and that is my intention if you are inclined to contribute in any way you can. However, if doing so is beyond your means, do not worry: this publication is available free for anyone to enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, although this was not intended as a print publication, we may be able to produce some in that format. It would be spiral-bound, A4, and black-and-white only, except for the cover. The price might be around \u00a330 plus postage and packing. Please let me know if you are interested.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am pleased to report that we have added a new publication to the PDF download section of this website today.
