I presume this is the book: http://www.amazon.com/Four-Steps-Epiphany-Steven-Blank/dp/09...

Yes, and just in case you think I'm kidding (or exaggerating) about how good it is... look at the Amazon reviews. 79 reviews, and almost all of them are 5 star. It's an excellent book; at least in terms of content. The production qualities leave something to be desired, but that stuff can be ignored. It's basically his class notes from his class at Stanford, printed through Cafe Press. But it's excellent material.

Would you be able to say if this PDF is the same as the $40 book on Amazon? It is freely available on Stanford's site.

Looks like that's just the first 33 pages of the whole book. That said, that would make a fine introduction to Steve's ideas, and then one can decide whether or not to buy the book, after reviewing that bit.

There are also a lot of videos on Youtube, where Steve talks about this stuff.

That's only the first 3 chapters.
