      Dear Ilse,

      I’m afraid we have no more copies in stock, but I see on Abebooks.com that there are two second hand copies for sale, priced at £11 and £12, which seems reasonable. Otherwise you can find a copy at the Gibson Library in Saffron Walden. I hope you can find what you want.

      Best wishes, Martin Rose SWHS
