Hi Elaine,
I bought 2 copies of the wonderful book at Amazon.com, they were used
but in good condition. Too tell the truth I haven't read them yet.
The ISBN from the 2 books is 07153 73986. A good place to trade books
is at http://www.bookcrossing.com or the german version http://www.bookcrossers.de.
Check out the fritos bookshelf or others from all over the world.
Greetings from Germany,
Barbara
