Buying secondhand through Amazon marketplace can be handy as
all dealers who list through them, use a flat postage charge
per book, in the UK anyway which is handy for heavier books.
Amazon have a feedback system of sorts for their listing dealers,
which ABE don't. If you pay using a credit card then you always
have the option of a charge-back in case of any real problems


Here's the description and synopsis of the 2003 edition from Amazon -
