I'm stuck: I can't get it from my library (actually a network of a number of quite large suburban libraries) as it just isn't in the catalogue, and it seems the only e-book version I can get is in German.

Does this mean none of you can get paperbook cheaper than 14$? Or is it only for ebooks? In case it has to be ebook you might want to restrict voting then only to ebook version available under xy price?
