The text is the 5th edition but lacks PDF figures

The narration is clear, easy to follow of this important book. One problem is the text constantly refers to Figure so-and-so but with no downloadable PDF file to look at the detailed figures. One can download the PM forms from Eric Verzuh's website, but not the PDF file. Please correct this oversight.

Not the 6th Edition

I bought this audio version of the book, and then I decided to get the Kindle version of the book so that I can listen to the book while reading. This audio version is really an older addition. (I think it might be the 5th, maybe)? It's not the 6th Edition.

In the Kindle version has additional material, so Chapter 2 goes over Project leadership. It isn't until the third chapter that it goes over foundation principles.

So, I'm disappointed that I didn't get what I paid for due to Audible's false representation of the product, and I also paid an additional price for book I wouldn't have bought if I'd known that the audio version and the ebook version didn't match.

Other than that, the narrator is very good.
