Why the first editions are free

Philippine tax textbooks are expensive and go out of date quickly. A student who buys one in first year is often reading lapsed law by the time it matters. Giving away the first edition solves the first problem and makes the second one visible: every amendment that touches a chapter is posted here, and the second edition gathers them up. Readers who want the current law bound into one volume can buy it. Everyone else keeps the book for nothing.
