Getting started with the booklets

  1. Order free booklets and we'll mail them to you.
  2. Make copies of the tools before using the booklet with someone. The tools fold out to a letter-sized black-and-white page to make photocopying easy and convenient. That way, you can write on the copies and then keep them once you're done.
  3. Download the professional print files to have more copies printed at your local print shop.  You can print the booklets as they are or add your own logo. Access the print files.
