A Note on the Press

Every volume reproduces the lesson exactly as filmed: each step in order, the narrator’s asides preserved in the margin, and a Certificate of Completion bound at the back to be filled in by hand. The books contain no moving pictures and make no apology for it.

Purchases support the Institute’s continued operation, its modest library, and the Dean’s spectacles. Where a link to Amazon carries an affiliate tag, the Institute receives a small consideration at no cost to the student.
