The book is out of print, so we had to find a used copy. The author was happy to let us reproduce the whole thing, which was very nice.

Yeah, Canada is very cold! I just agreed to travel there in January and am wondering what I'm in for. I guess it can't be colder than Chicago (or Minneapolis, where I was in February 2007 -- that was cold!). But since we have only one version of this module, U.S. folks need to learn about Canada -- and vice versa. It's a healthy exchange of information.

While it may be nearly as long as FAP Module 2, the Regulation Module is not as repetitious. I think it's much better.

I haven't looked closely at the Financial Economics Module and can't really comment intelligently on it. (Maybe not on the Regulations Module, either!)

I must add my 2 cents here.

I found the book so enjoyable that I could not put it down. I completed it in 2 days. I could identify the characters with some of those at my old company. It was a mutual company with many of the same stuff going on. The similarity between Confed and my old company is amazing.
