Prefer a paperback? It's on Amazon at £9.99, and all royalties go to the Lighthouse Construction Industry Charity for as long as the book sells. The PDF is free either way. If it's been useful and you'd like to give something, a donation to the Lighthouse Charity (lighthousecharity.org) does more good than buying the paperback.
