Another offer from a different forum:
www.thebookpeople.co.uk are selling it for £4.99 plus postage and packing.
Haven't researched the P&P yet - how do these booksellers organise the discount pricing and make a profit? Are they anticipating oversupply, or is this a loss leader?

The price is over-inflated to start with. If I wait long enough it may be remaindered in our local discount bookshop then I'll get it for a quid!
