However, Amazon has a used copy from St. Martin's Minotaur run from 2001, which I just put in my shopping cart. Also, Abe Books has lots of used copies of different printings. It's $4.00 at all of them, so fine. I'm ordering it. That's doable.

It's been several years since I last reread this one, and now you've induced me to add it to the Great Teetering Pile of Unread Books for another good re-reading.
