I'd dearly love a copy, but not for the stupid money they pull on ebay now!
Supply & demand......there weren't enough buyers when it was initially printed, and the gamble of printing excess books was too great.

I do realise that Warren is a regular on this forum because I was put onto this forum by the publisher of the book for that exact reason.
There were two of these books on Ebay just recently and the same person bought both of them (one signed, one not).

Queensland state library doesn't have it (funny, considering it was printed in Queensland). But Toowoomba (where I'm from) had one and it got stolen about two years ago. I pity the guy who stole it cause they are planning on sending him a $1000 bill and

There is no other resourse with as much information. Having said that all (or almost all) of the info can be found in GMH literature, but by the time you buy all of this (if you can find it) it will probably cost you close to $800 anyway. Warren and Ben d |

The library in Adelaide had a copy and I was next on the waiting list.
However... the person before me did not return it. No surprises there!!

I think the act of steeling from the library when they did not buy it themselves is very low, and I would encourage anyone who finds it on the 'not returned" list at a library inform them of its true value so the "thief" get the fine they deserve.

Warren,
I recall a while back that you mentioned on Yahoo that you were possibly planning to release information from the book in a series of newsletters or similar. Are there any such plans afoot?
