so if you had the book and re-wrote it in your own words would it still be breach of copyright???

$40 is a lot of money for a book.i pay less than that for Ps2 games brand new.

custom built gaming pc from early 2010,ps2 with 15 games all original,ps3 500gbs with 5 games all original,yamaha amp and 5.1channel surround sound speakers,46inch sony lcd smart tv.

Wow, you guys are broke. I feel sorry for you, maybe you should go steal the D&D books. If you think about it, a D&D book can give you probably EASILY 100+++ hours of enjoyment. Divide that by the price and you get pennies on the hour. Compare that to most any other activity you do for enjoyment, and it is nothing.
