I would certainly like to learn how to obtain a copy of your publication on how to choose a bed bug pest control company. One of your links didn't work, but using the other I was able to discover it is available at the TX A&M Agrilife bookstore. However, I couldn't figure out how to order it, since the price is listed as $0.00. I would have supposed there would be a way to download it for free, but failed to find any way to do this.
Thanks for your help,

Sorry about any difficulties accessing this fact sheet. The link should be working now, but the system (as of Oct, 2013) is still a little tricky to navigate. When you get to the page, click the "Add to Cart" link. When a popup window appears, click "Check out". On the next page, make sure quantity is 1 and click the button under New Customers that says "Proceed to Checkout". Simply fill out the required fields for billing and shipping information (don't worry, this publication is free and you will not be added to any mailing lists). Once you've registered with the site, you can simply choose your previously entered information in these two fields. Scroll down to the bottom and click "Place Order". The site will mail you the publication, but at this point you will see on the next screen a link option to immediately download the publication. If you do this you will get an immediate download to view AND you will get the pub as an attachment to an email within a few minutes. If you don't click it, you will still get the email with the publication. Complicated, I know.
