It is not uncommon for longtime users to come up to us after a presentation and thank us for mentioning a tip or trick that will really help them out in their work, and we have incorporated those tips into the book. </p> </div> </li> </li> </ul> </div>   <div class="col-sm-12 col-md-6"> <ul class="accordion clearfix">  <li id="question_5"> <a href="#question5">I'd like to use this book with my class.
