As I posted recently at Pace Advantage, and as Richie has stated above, owning The Match Up 2 book is really not necessary. I own a copy (eBay $63) and I have observed that virtually the entire contents of the book is posted in the Hat Check area...word-for-word in most cases. Certainly all the critical information is available for free within that forum. The primary material missing would be the examples used in the book. However, in my opinion, Richie's examples in the forum are better because they are more illustrative than those in the book. Follow Richie's recommendations above.
If you still want to spend some of your money anyhow I recommend making a donation to Pace and Cap so that you may obtain access to the Club Pace and Cap forum, which is a "members only" area. In this private area you will find access to the original Match Up manual, the "red" manual, for free. You will also get access to hundreds of hours of free audio seminars. The sessions with Mr. Bradshaw are especially great and informative. To hear The Hat work a race is quite impressive and helped me gain tremendous insights into applying The Match Up. Also, I'm not connected with this site in any way other than being an appreciative member.
By the way, eBay is not a rip-off. It's called supply and demand. It simply illustrates that there is considerable demand for the book. That's the beauty of an auction system; the item sells for whatever someone is willing to pay for it. If they're willing then how can it be a ripoff? I know I was very happy when I got my copy...even at $63. And no, I'm not connected with eBay either.
Richie, if you (or whomever) gets the video project going and need help with the preparation of any static images used in the presentation, let me know. I am a capable graphic artist and would be glad to contribute.
Also Richie, there's a question I posted about The Match Up 2 book in the Hat Check area awhile back. You asked at that time for me to be patient. I was just wondering if five weeks was patient enough?
Here's that link:

I have more questions about the book but was planning on posing them one at a time, chronologically as presented within the book. But at this rate, I'm afraid I will go to my grave with unanswered Match Up questions and that
might be a sin so I'm sure you can understand my concern.
