Oops... sent that last message without the link! Hi There, I just thought I would mention that I ordered that book you mentioned from Amazon.co.uk and got it no problem! Have a look here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0749411589/ref=sr_aps_books_1_1/202 -2183926-1739048 I'm just starting out on the process (in fact, still waiting for CILIP to okay my job description!) and have found the book useful!
