I had a look on both Amazon and Apple’s sites. Apple explicitly says no 
DRM; Amazon doesn’t seem to say anything on the subject, not a good sign. 
Both had previews. the graphics were... underwhelming. And, worse, it’s 
just Part One, and it’s been a decade with no Part Two. (If there’s a 
Part Two, I can’t find it in either Apple or Amazon.) There would be a 
probability that it will never be finished, and a near certainty that the 
other books in the series won’t get the graphical treatment.
