It is possible to buy the hardback from Amazon, but I think they are selling the US version. I will read this at some point, but I'll be patient and wait for the paperback to be released and if there is no sign of a UK release I'll import a copy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07698068501004755678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918892767071973314.post-91802158399341707002012-03-20T15:17:13.648-04:002012-03-20T15:17:13.648-04:00Yay!
