The site states a PDF can be downloaded during that time and that you can print the PDF. It doesn't specifically state whether access to the downloaded PDF file is limited to 180 days or if the limit only applies to the online access. Before paying to download the PDF I want to learn whether the file can still be read after 180 days has passed or if I must print it to be able to read it later.<BR><BR>I thought I'd ask if anyone has experience with this service before contacting the publisher directly to ask them.<BR><BR>I blogged about this book after reading the review on History Net at:<BR><BR><http://www.h-net.org/reviews/showrev.php?id=30796><BR><BR>The books sounds very interesting and seems to be another example of family history intersecting with "big picture" history.<BR><BR>-- Regards, Debbie<BR><BR>Debbie Parker Wayne, CG^(sm)<BR>-- Wayne Research <http://debbiewayne.com/><BR><BR>CG, Certified Genealogist is a service mark of the Board for Certification of Genealogists^(®) , used under license by board certificants after periodic evaluation.
