I went to the link yesterday and had a quick look.  I haven't got around to downloading it yet but I will be.  I must admit that I'm not up with the who's who so rshome123 would have made more sense to me.

I have it. Just paid straight up and didn't bother with the 30 day free trial.  Well worth having for under $10.  I'm already learning plenty. Very easy reading with excellent, clear and informative text.

Congratulations are definitely due. :)

It's always good when a long-standing forum member publishes his ideas in a medium less ephemeral than a forum, but for me, a cookery book has to be just that -- a book, not a downloadable Kindle-format package.  So, I congratulate Richard on, and wish him every success in, his new venture, but urge him to consider the world of print.

Thinking back ten or so years ago to when I joined the forum when there was a dearth of information on BIR-style curries and my enthusiasm was at a peak I could not have envsioned a time when I'd groan slightly at the announcement of a BIR-a-like curry book. But, honestly, BIR book fatigue has set in and I do groan a bit! Good luck to Richard though!

I see your point SS, and Phil I have loads of books but I am enjoying the digital media format. 

For my own requirements in the BIR developmental process, this volume is a good resource, as is this forum and the youtube video platform.  It is timely for me and I consider it to be excellent value at less than the cost of a single serve curry dish from the local takeaway.  I'll certainly get my dollars worth from it.

There are dishes I'll be giving a miss though.  I'm a big pussy so I don't think I'll try the burn your face off dishes.

I once read somewhere that statistics indicate most people use less than 1% of recipes in their cookbook library and in fact most books are purchased primarily to obtain a single dish. My own behaviour is pretty consistent with that.

Sadly true for me as well.  I bought a hardback Polish recipe book just to get a decent recipe for golonka, only to find that no mention was made of that classic dish.  In the end I found what I wanted (in machine-readable form, image-only) on Google Books ...

A 1/3 qty batch of base gravy, pressure cooked in an hour, used to do a Butter Chicken plus a 1/2 sized Pilau rice dish in the making.   Mix this up with the most recent leftovers and I have a banquet tonight.  Last visit to the TA cost me $80.  Great stuff.

Adendum: Pilau Rice recipe.  Chaat Masala and Knob of Butter appear to be included in the simmering ingredients list even though they are on the next page. No delineation.  Following the recipe method clearly shows that they are optional additions after the cooking procedure.

My favourite recipes have all been from RShome123, steveparadox, CA and Westy, with Rshome123 having 50+% share :)

I think these books are a great contribution to the curry community. I doubt Richard will make his million from selling them, so the motivation is elsewhere, which is admirable!

Did anyone see the one star review on Amazon?

Unknown to me I apparently ordered the digital version on Kindle, which I didn't want. Beware

Someone had mistakenly ordered the wrong version, and based on their own mistake poor Richard received one star for his fantastic book.

I would like to thank my lackey for the in-depth research.

Do those two recipes include those in links provided to his YouTube channel?

Wow! indeed, Fake News.

Very good point MA
RS did all his self promotion on CAs pay site and FBook forums.
He has NOT posted, contributed or shared a recipe or anything else here on cR0 for 4 years

Subjective but hardly worth much congratulation from cR0
Apart from the Wee Reiver of course.  ;)

Coffee in his Madras, that will get a good laugh down at your local BIR. ;D

              I believe it is rshome123.

Regards pap rika.

Many thanks. Why does he have so many identities? That said, my ID on bircurries is different or I wouldn't have been allowed in. Yes, I recall rshome123 on here. I was going to buy the volume 1 kindle edition but decided that because I'm interested in only a few recipes, I may as well just write them down from the youtube videos. There's a lot of effort gone into the book and video channel but why? I doubt if he'll make very much and maybe the R&D and just making (and eating) so many curries to video is not good for his health.
