You ought to update the description on xdevlibrary. It says This book is Version 2.2 (June 2017). in the fourth paragraph.
Such a great book to have, How should I go about requesting a free update of it? Should I email @Marc Zeedar or is there already an established method for requesting the free update since I just recently purchased the September 2017 Ver 2.3 copy from him?
There are two general options to get the free update:
In your original purchase on Xojo Library, re-download the original file that came with your purchased book, it should download the latest version of the book and the example programs.
If there is an issue with your link or the book, then contact Marc at: support at xDevLibrary.com. You’ll need to assemble the email address, and this is to prevent bots from email spamming.
For some reason I never get emails about updated books and I have bought all of Eugene’s books
I always end up emails Marc and yes he is very professional and helpful but it would be easier if I got the updates

Hi @brian franco,
Sorry to hear that you haven’t been receiving email updates. Could I ask you to reach out to Marc at ‘support at xDevLibrary.com’ and ask him to check on your account information? There may be some updated books for your library
