Try e-mailing Graham.

I will give that a try, thanks!

I think the book can only be found on this website. My sons bought it for me as a Father's Day gift. It costs about £17.

Graham has been sold out of the book for some time now.

The language barrier for the above recommended site is a little scary, not sure what I'm committing myself to when clicking buttons I don't understand.

I had no issues...but then again, I have the option to translate when using my phone. The asking price of 497 Czech Koruna works out to about $22.28 US. Could be worth it if shipping isn't outrageous.

I thought I'd be a Little Angel and find the 'Contact Us' link on the website, so I opened a window on my phone using Chrome (Android no longer supports two windows using the same search engine etc) and got automatic translation 'Contact Us' is obviously top left, so shipping cost is yours for the asking.
The book is fabulous. I'm still waiting for the original Czech edition to turn up for sale somewhere. It might be unintelligible but I've seen Bob's copy and it's mind-blowing. Seeing the differences illustrated by photos makes everything so much clearer.

Carsten, by Cars and Boxes in Germany has one for €49.00

Thanks for sharing this Gary but it's the original Czech edition I want. This smaller English language edition is available on the Czech website for less than €20.

You mean this one


Gary

Yes Gary, that's the badger. About 4x the number of pages compared with the English language edition.

Correct,
This i got from a member of a member .
