I checked today at Borders Orchard for this book..they said its not in stock & not been on offer recently - probably all sold out? checked the bargain area - all relate to cooking & stuff

you can pick up a hardcover copy at amazon.com for as low as US$2 for the second hand edition or around US$20+ brand new. Plus shipping, would come to less than S$50...

Off topic : I dont know what happened to amazon. they used to show you sample pages , so you can see how the book is like but these days, they stopped that option and worse, have their customers write reviews instead!

Debash: i was at borders yesterday and there were many copies of it.. they are found actually near the stationary, notebooks area; somewhere near the fantasy novels area.. maybe you missed that section? or if not, the sale is really good! heh

nuts...now you are all making me so tempted I am thinking of going down there to check it out!
luckily just a thought....:-)

Hi Debash,

There was a pile of them. But they are only in one section in the middle of the store. There are three separate bargain bins, so make sure you check all.

Cheers

Thanks, Chris & Geraldine, managed to buy it today. There is a stack of this book still available. There's also a very similar book - same size & similar pictures with forward by David H Levy, but written by someone else - that's also quite good, also at $11.95.
