This book is one of our oldest, being the second title we published, way back in 2017. We felt it was time to freshen it up a bit. The layout has been fully audited, and many pages have been completely revised to bring them in line with our more recent publications.

We’ve included this latest update to Mac’s storied career in the book, including a full transcript of the award text.
