We share Michael's pain.
The book is targeted at institutional buyers - libraries, research
units, communication offices, etc. (We could have an interesting
discussion about academic publishing practices ...) If there are enough
such purchases, we may be able to commit the publisher to a 'popular'
edition more suitable for personal purchase.
I have some order forms for purchase at a 20% discount. Mail me directly
<[log in to unmask]> if you want one.
