In case anyone is interested, you can now buy new copies of this book through the publisher's (now Pearson Education) print-on-demand scheme. Order through a bookshop or direct to Pearson's Harlow office, and they will print off the copies, albeit with a rather naff generic cover. No word on the price as yet, but expect it to be "what the market will bear".
