Unusually for an Allen Lane book, this is not the Penguin paperback in a hard cover, but a proper sewn hardback.  It is still in print in the USA, but only in paperback, and is available in this country at a steep £28.05.  Our hardback edition, on the other hand, is offered for sale on The Website That Is Intent on World Domination at prices starting at £193.77 . . . !!!
