  17. I’ve just created a new page on the KLP Publishing website that lists all of our current publications, including their release dates, current version numbers, and the dates of their most recent update. This new page can be found under the “About” menu item in the main navigation, or at the following location: https://www.klp.com.au/about/klp-book-releases/ The page will be updated whenever we publish a new title, or release an update to an existing one. Just be aware that it works best when viewed on a larger screen, as the book title text wraps rather aggressively on the smaller screens on many mobile devices. We hope you find this useful not only as a snapshot of our available titles, but also in keeping track of the latest version of each title. Kev
