Well my copy is a 'print on demand' by McGraw Hill Primis, the ISBN no. is
0075232197. I've had it for several years, and have little recollection as
to the cost. However, having trawled around their website I did eventually
manage to find it (it is a shite-awful website it has to be said - searching
for it yielded nothing!):

So if you can be bothered to spend the time working out how on earth it
works (it looks like you can put whichever sections together you like), you
might actually get somewhere... (A quick check on the page count seems like
it *is* all there) My copy looks like a just-about-readable photocopy, so it
is not that brilliant (but better than not at all!). Good luck!
