This is a marketing mess, Bernie! Please forward my complaint to the publis=
her. I bought a hard-cover expecting a CD and the Apple iBook expecting sou=
nds in the text. Neither were provided.

Now I search for Bernie Krause in iBooks and there are six products branded=
 "The Great Animal Orchestra." Six! Four free sounds albums described as "s=
horts," whatever that means, and two editions of the book, one "enhanced" w=
hich when you open its screen says "This book includes audio" in fine print=
 away from the main description.

All you need is a hard cover with a CD inside, and an electronic edition wi=
th the sounds. Seems simple but I don't know what they were thinking.

I'm buying another copy of the edition I should have ordered=85you can't re=
turn iBooks or give them to a friend.
