*second hand buy, 2 pound, nice hardback. Looked at the dust jacket price and it retailed at 20 quid full price which seems extortionate for a short book, even if the paper is good quality, hardback etc. Penguin Classic edition. Who actually buys these full priced and new. It doesn't even have a shiny bookmark ribbon and gold edged pages for that money.
