If you miss out on buying the paper with it free today, the booklet says additional copies can be bought at £3.50 later. ie- Much cheaper to grab today!

Contents include how to start your research and the usual certificate and census stuff. Also articles on how to interview relatives, identify photos, clues in old hand-me-downs, how much someone found out about their Robson family (Northumberland area) in just 21 days, specialist archives, a beautiful calligraphied family tree example, DNA testing and heaps of useful websites and addresses - phew! I'm impressed, it is informative, nicely laid out and illustrated. This one is going to live on my genealogy shelf!
