Hi Joan,
the step by step approach is exactly the way the original Tutorials were written and now carried over into the Workshops in the Technote magazine.
As far as the 'older' features are concerned, that really was dealt with in the previous 6000/6500 book, and there was no point (and no space) to repeat information that a lot of people here had already purchased.
So the 7000 book describes how to set up the keyboard the way you want it, and then how to save and organise your work, leading on to using all the new features, which for many people entail new concepts they haven't tried before.
Everything I've ever written is in a clear step by step style, only now with screen shots directly from the 7000 and laptop to hopefully make it even clearer

Hi Rikki,
I suggest you email Technote at the download site and ask about international postage. No doubt when they are ready to ship they will have the answers

best wishes,
