It’s taken me ages to get into the eBook game here on the interwebz, and now that I have, I have a new found respect for those that are putting together top-notch downloads. Even for someone like me whose thrifty ebook plan was to make a compilation, formatting and organizing still take heaps of time! I can only imagine how much effort was put into the uber-fantastic gem, “Getting Out of Auto“.
And, as the title suggests, I have completed the thrifty ebook compilation! You can get your copy RIGHT NOW by simply subscribing to my RSS feed (if you haven’t already)! Once you have access to the feed in your email or reader, you’ll see a link at the bottom of the posts for the ebook, “Thrifty and Resourceful Travelers Doing What They Do Best”.

Hey Brooke,
I did already subscribe to your RSS feed but I am not seeing a link to the ebook. What’s the problem here?
Look right below the section that mentions the posts comments and options to “email this” and “stumble this”. Do you see the link to the title of the ebook in that section?
No, I can’t. I’ve already subscribed to your RSS feed, but you’re site doesn’t seem to recognise this. I still have the sucscribe option there and if I try to subscribe again, I get the following error “The feed does not have subscriptions by email enabled”.
Sorry if I’m too stupid to find it…
I just sent you an email
Congrats on finishing the book!
No, thank you! I hope that the book also gives the contributors a proper shout out
Shnikes!!! 58 pages! Go you!! Can’t wait to read through it:).
Haha, yeah it ended up being long, but that’s all due to the submissions
I put the submissions in and decided to keep it simple… not to mention that I’m hard pressed for time these days
Hey Brooke, I’m subscribed too but don’t see the link either O:-) Mind sending it?
Hi Brooke!
I subscribed to your feed, but like the others, can’t seem to find this link
Any chance you could email it to me?
Thanks!
Hi Erin,
Please be sure you have selected to view images in the email. There is a common problem in Gmail where people were having to double check in the green bar at the top of the email to display images. Once images were displayed, there is a link in the section below all post information. If still having issues, please forward your email to me so I can have a look.
Can you please email it to me as well? I can’t find it but I did subscribe. Thanks
How do I get the ebook? I subscribed to your news feed. When do I receive a link for the ebook?
YOu should be able to see the link at the bottom of the feed when you view it in your feed reader.
