Update Information @ www.betterbuys.com
We are now publishing databases on our website showing
the specifications and prices of machines in all the sub-
jects we cover — you can search for machines by brand
and by whether they are new or anything has changed
since the publication of the last guide on a topic. The type
of information is the same as in the charts in the guides
themselves, but the web databases are updated through-
out the year — and they contain short comments on
what’s new.
These databases are designed to be used in conjunction
with the guides, and we restrict access to readers of those
guides by requiring user names and passwords. The user
name to access the database covering this guide is:
LIFE.The password is: LIFETIME. User names and
passwords for other databases are shown on the back
covers of the guides to which they relate. User names and
passwords are changed when the guides are replaced.
Slipcase Reminder
The best way to protect and organize your guides is to
order a custom Better Buys slipcase (able to hold at least
10 guides). Only $13, including shipping.

Publishing Intervals & Guide Numbering
All guides are numbered using a consecutive n
umber
ing system.
It’s generally easiest to request a guide by its name, not number.
The month and year in which a guide was printed is shown on the
first inside page of each guide
.
New editions of each guide are
published at approximately annual intervals (call 800 247 2185 or
check www.betterbuys.com for latest dates). New guides do not
appear every month and, sometimes, more than one new guide
may be published in the same month. A subscription is for 10
guides, which are delivered over a 12-month period.
