Admin Guide Question

[Horton, Robert]

If you're persistent enough you can get a working link (I think)...You have to click on the Buy Now from www.mailscanner.info, then click on the "MailScann Online Store" link, then click on the "main store" link on that page, then click the book, and finally click on add to cart. 

The Synopsis says it was updated in June 2007 but under product details says April 2004.
