		WillAdams 30 days ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Design Thinking Books (2024) $99 for a 218 page PDF which, while it has a Goodreads page which rates it highly: https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/43190966-refactoring-... doesn't have a working "Purchase on Amazon" link, and searching there for: "Refactoring UI Adam Wathan , Steve Schoger" returns no results. One can get two "free" chapters in exchange for one's e-mail address. Book deal fall through? Why?

Either you want to support the authors and give them the price they ask or don't. You being on this platform gives me the assumption that you can definitely find pretty much any PDF on the Internet for free, in a way or another.

I would prefer to support the authors by the purchase of a dead tree/printed book.
