    Looks a superb book, but the only one I can see for sale is on Abebooks, in New Zealand, for £363!!` Maybe David Wardale just didn't have very many printed. Might be worth checking if there is a copy available to view in the NRM library.

    (ISBN 10 is ISBN 0952999803.)

    I found that one too! Signed first edition, I'm not sure what the cover price was! I'd like a copy for my 'library' I think its an interesting book from what I've heard...

    I believe 3000 were printed but there is zero chance of another print run. There is a very outside chance of a PDF version at some point but don;t hold your breath. In the meantime it remains a VERY difficult book to get hold of.

    I would be interested if the copy I've ordered doesn't come to fruition. I'm a little sceptical due to its rarity... What sort of money did you have in mind? I'm sure it wouldn't take much shifting!
