All I can say is it *is* a very heavy book! Plus, I'm not sure how easy it is to find in shops at the moment. I haven't looked, but... *thought derails* Sorry I just thought that if anywhere would have it, it would probably be the amazing Waterstones on Gower Street... when you are in London, if you are a bibliophile at all, Charing Cross is bookshop central, of course, but about two thirds of the way up Gower Street is a Waterstones that also contains a floor with remainders and a floor with second hand books. It has staircases that only seem to connect with certain parts of the building, so it is about the only mainstream bookshop I know of anywhere that fits the 'genteel black hole that knows how to read' definition. (Mind you, the crazy one with books piled up EVERYWHERE in complete disregard of access, health and safety etc that I saw in Cheltenham was worth the trip there...)
Sorry, it is a very heavy book. If Amazon cannot oblige, what about other websites, or even Ebay? Sorry, you've probably looked, but, personally, I wouldn't want to be weighted down with that thing. You could fit at least five other paperbacks in, if not more without it...
ETA: And, yes, I think it's worth the read. There are deleted scenes and things from scripts, and certainly the process of writing for something like that is fascinating. (When it comes to RTD, I sit on the fence: I think he's a brilliant screenwriter, who sometimes writes things that I think are silly. Or worse. But we are all so protective of DW. It's so much more than any one person, Doctor, or era, I suppose. I have to say, even though I have problems with much of his stuff, I don't think anyone else would have made its return the success it has been.)
