Hi
I'm in the market for the same book - going to PNG in August.
On Amazon at present there is an add for the book, in paperback, at $28
(assume US dollars) to be released 'soon' and 'but it now and we'll
deliver'. I believe this particular add is recent as I've been watching
the site for a while hoping for a bargain. I doubt they'd advertise this
way if the book was still 12 months off.... would they?
If anyone can shed some other light I'd be happy to hear 'cause I'm just
waiting for an improvement in the aussie dollar to order one....
Cheers
Colin
