Are you reading for fun or for profit? :)

Its a good book but it might be a bit heavy on the history for the guy who wants just to learn the basics.

Which edition of Vlado's book do you have? Amazon has the 3rd edition for $82, Vlado's site lists a 4th edition for ~$145 USD. I have read the 3rd edition but not the 4th.

The second edition is from 2009 and is just way out of date. As 2 mentions, it is mostly a history lesson at this point. The third edition is already somewhat dated (2013) but better.

I would recommend, as a member who gets our current books for free, to start with them.

Honestly, there really isn't anything better for the beginner than John's free ebooks. I say this as a trainer whose job it is to teach new hires for our surveillance sales department, and who has researched a lot (not all) of the books available on the market.

We do not offer hard copies of our books. You can certainly print them out.

We might offer hard copies in the future but not sure if the cost of printing them justifies doing so relative to electronic distribution.

If you have the PDF you can get a hard bound or softcover made book from a variety of sources online. One that I have used, (not for IPVM books), is blurb:

So for this handsome addition to any home library, Hardcover (color economy) will run your around $100 for the set of 3:
