Hugh, you really should be aware that there's a paperback edition now selling through Amazon.com (http://tinyurl.com/yunccf) discounted for $51.09; I wouldn't have paid the price asked for the hardback although I would still have wanted to read carefully through it. The paperback edition is considerably improved over the hardback, quite a few of the more egregious stylistic errors having been corrected by its Baker Books editor.
