I got mine with the promo... great read. The other one never arrived, and is now a 100% donation to the OAF! Both the DT2 and the OAF are great things and well worth their $$$$$$!!!!!!!!!!! If you haven't ordered your DT2 You Are Missing a Great Book!

dt-2 is a great book to conduct a new growers seminar from.
just pull a couple staples,open up the pages ,make some copies, distribute and conduct the forum right out of the book.
if kids are in attendance just dont copy the back cover.
i have no problem with this book helping clubs with their new grower seminars.
