Good book that, Inspector. Had it for years and looked at it a lot. I can also vouch that it doesn't fall apart after twenty minutes as some soft back books can.

Looking closer, yours appears to be hard back.

Same The Hardback is the recently re-printed version (I say recently but that could mean any time in the last decade haha). Had the Paperback version from the time it first came out.
Funny enough I've been looking at it for the last few days, which is weird as I hadn't seen these posts until today ha
