Ben, your plug is welcome. There is a hole to be filled
in this area, and I'm looking forward to checking your
plug for shape and size!

A question or two: I notice that one can get the whole book
in one shot from

  http://www.zoo.ufl.edu/bolker/emdbook/book.pdf

rather than piece by piece from the individual chapter
links (though the revision status may differ). But must
one also get the Exercises, R code, Data and Scripts
separately?

And/or can one use wget for it all?

Thanks, Ben, and best wishes for its future!
Ted.
