I was wondering if its content was really worth the extra cost or if it's mostly duplicate of what is in BFFM.
I have not read "The Fat Burn Files", but honestly I really feel like everything you need to know is in The Body Fat Solution - and for a lot cheaper - unless maybe you are going for bodybuilding. As Meg put it.. it is the single most complete and best weight loss book I've ever read (and I've read a lot over the years!).
Here are the contents of "The Fat Burn Files":

Maybe when I get to my goal, I can use this for toning/working specific areas? Interesting... but I don't think it is for me at this point. It looks like it is more for bodybuilding?
Oh .. and here is a link for "The Fat Burn Files" if anyone is interested in checking it out:

BUT, The Body Fat Solution is the one I would go with. It has the same info, plus more, and is easier to understand the exercise/weight lifting part - not as intense on that as in BFFM. It's very much geared toward all aspects of weight loss - the nutrition/exercise is only part of the picture. He really has a way of getting you to see what is really going on with you in both.. but like you, I wanted a hard copy of something. 
I consider the actual book a more polished & updated version of BFFM.
