Probably the only difficult US HoME title - the first book, with pages printed in Great Britain. Not affiliated with the seller, just don't see these turn up on the market very often (seems like many went straight to libraries).

Only someone who owns a copy of this book would have the cheek to post that auction while it's still running...

Don't worry, I'd have seen it, anyway :)
Need a cheaper copy, as the first one cost me 500 quid or somesuch.

Dead right :)
I think the number you were trying to recall was £595...
Stu: The GBP 595 copy was me, and was a "what the hell" purchase as it was my 40th birthday

Damn, in another few years, I'd have convinced myself I only paid GBP 200. Now you have reset the counter back to 595. Bah!

to make you feel better
1 - I paid the same amount as you 4 weeks after you brought yours ?!?!?
2 - My selling exp tells me you could sell for that sort of figure today if you wished so not lost any money
3 check out this one - suprised no one highlighted it . It went for even more!
