Appendix . Thank You

As thanks for purchasing this book, I’d like to give you a little something to put on your iPod. That little something is Of Eve, a solo piano album I recorded some years ago.

The music on Of Eve belongs to me, but you’re welcome to download and place it on your computer and iPod for your personal listening pleasure. You may not, however, use this music in a public broadcast or for any commercial purposes without my permission.

You can find your copy here: www.peachpit.com/ipodsecrets.

I hope you enjoy it.
