He is asking for us to send him the money is my guess.

Actually, it sounded more like he wanted us to send him the BOOK. BUt
if his dad won't let him buy things off of the internet, he's a kid.
The "88" in his ID might lead one to believe he is 17 or 18.

Still, I stand by my statement that it is a wise and prudent thing for
one's character and integrity to live within one's capabilities and not
go cyberbegging.

I agree with you....I used to search the local Library.....and the free site
with step by step instructions was a great find. Maybe a teacher in his art
classes could also help.

He states in the first sentence of his post that he is 19.

Uh, he claims to be in Indonesia. If this is true, then your
suggestions might not help.

My apologies -- it's Malaysia, not Indonesia. At any rate, it's still
in the same part of the world as in not within the bounds of the United
States.

There are libraries and art teachers outside of the USA. It's a
perfectly valid suggestion that he search the local library, Malaysia
has plenty of them.

Well, given the area of the world that it is in and my lack of personal
knowledge about the country, I would not automatically assume it is an
affluent country.

Then why comment on its resources at all?

You seem to have automatically assumed that because Malaysia is
outside of the USA it is deficient some how. Libraries are pretty
basic resources, there would be few countries on this earth I would
assume did not have some sort of library resource. If a country has
Internet access, then I think it's reasonable to expect it has public
collections of books.

I have friends who live in Singapore, which is practically right next
door to Malaysia, Indonesia, etc., and my impression from what they say
is that while Singapore is affluent, the surrounding countries are, for
the most part, very poor. So it's not an automatic assumption, it's
something based on some empiric data.
