FWIW, I just ordered this from Amazon.ca for $59, including shipping!
I saw on the locked thread about this book that some guys have paid up to $130 (IMO a bit pricey). But $59 is in the same league as a couple/three AFV Modelers. I can't wait to get my hands on it!

Graeme, I ordered the book right after it was published on amazon.co.uk and got %30 off (about 25GBP I think)... it still was pretty expensive, but I like the book very much.
Great inspiration and wonderful photos, but a bit unclear in some of the comments... Anyway, I'm sure you'll enjoy it!

I got mine through my Regimental Museum for around $60, I have been reading and I really like it. There are a few translation issues, but there is a lot of information to absorb. I think it will help as i am looking forward to trying out some ideas. I read the locked thread and I don't really agree with the review. I think some are looking for a more exact description, where Mig is more trying to coax people into being more artistic and trying stuff. I am pretty sure that I wouldn't pay $120 for it, I think Mig went the right way with pictures to avoid a lot of translation. I do know that it is going to take a couple of reads to absorb as there is so much to take in. I would recomend it.
