If you're ever able to buy Rossler's book, do it! If you've never seen it, do you have a library you could request it through?

Right now, there's a couple used copies of Rossler's book available on amazon.com for under $65 US, all from sellers with feedback of 95% or better. Not sure why it's fetching so much more on Amazon UK.

You'll never believe this, I got mine for $1 (new)

for joining the Military book club. I could not join fast enough. That was about 10-15 years ago. They don't offer the book anymore.

Probably because they know I'm a Brit

Polish libraries are so poor that they cannot even afford Polish books

fortunately some libraries (mostly these which belong to or cooperate with universities) are given free books by foreign institutions like The British Embassy or The Library of Congress.

It's a cunning ploy to get the world speaking English (or a version of) and look, it's working

After devouring all the stuff I could find on the internet, I finally gave in and bought O Kane's 'Wahoo' - my first sub book, which arrived today!

I suspect it may not be the last

Not a bad read actually.

You'll want O'Kanes "Clear the Bridge" after that.

Hey, the bit about 'a version of' wasn't aimed anywhere near you - I was referring to my American cousins (thrice removed) and then Niki demonstrated the point perfectly.

I've not noticed anything wrong with your English.

Mine was much cheaper than that, less than half. I wish it'd gone for that though!
