    Does anyone know where I could lay my hands on the 3 volumes (preferably hardcover) for a reasonable price. I found "The Definitive and Extended Edition (hardcover)" on Amazon for 130 euros (excluding shipping). Anyone know if I can do better than this?

    Yeah, I saw that alright. I prefer my reference books to be hardcover but I may end up getting the paperback version just for the sake of saving some bobs.

    I think I read somewhere (may even be from the reviews on Amazon) that the Hardback ones arn't of the best quality & fell apart after a while. So might be better to get the paperback ones anyway?

    Ok, one suggestion. If you are near Maynooth, check out the notice boards downstairs in Logic House, in NUIM. The head of mathematical physics their gives them out as prizes, and you can often find students selling off their newly won copies.
