Why No Print Version?

The Guide is offered as an eBook for two reasons. First, the field of DNA testing changes so rapidly that it needs to be periodically updated. That is not practical for a printed book.

Secondly, much of the practical value of this such a book lies in the dozens of links to recommended DNA tests, books, and third party resources. In my eBook you simply click to go there. In a printed book you would have to type a long URL for every place you wanted to check.
