@ I bought it on August 9th and I finished it this week. I took each chapter somewhat slow and took PTs infrequently as I read through it. Drilling some as well. A lot of the framework is built for reading stimuli in the first 9 chapters and then the last 3 focus on selecting answer choices. I had been studying on my own for 2 months prior to purchasing it and once I started reading it I felt like I unlocked some new ways of looking at questions that were stumping me. A week ago I got a -0 on a LR section and that was a big indication that the book was helping me.

I would not recommend using a PDF version as that would make the drills in the text much harder to complete. I’m starting chapter 11 today and I can say it has improved my LR scores immensely, but I can’t imagine how much different it would feel if I couldn’t do the drills. You need an unused copy and it seems like you have a commenter willing to send you one!
