HOUSTON’S

BOOK OF Agility Games

Important note about this beta edition

This is an unfinished work. However, there is a sense of urgency in the world that demands immediate publication. Some of the details of this urgency are Top Secret at this moment.

We will be keeping a careful list of everyone who buys a legal copy of this book, along with your email addresses. When the final draft of the 3d Edition is ready to go, we will email you a discount code equal to the price you pay for the beta edition.

In the meantime, enjoy this beta version. It’ll do for now.

Geek Note

Not implemented in the beta edition (you’ll have to wait for the final draft): All of the drawings in this book that were designed in the Clean Run Course Designer can be spawned into CRCD by clicking in the upper-right corner of the drawing. Note that this feature does not work when reading the book directly out of the distribution .zip file. The file must be unzipped to behave correctly.
