If it is, then I can go probably score a copy at the local Waterstone's on the weekend. Otherwise, it's Amazon.com and a week of waiting for the post. I probably won't though, not for at least another week. I'm doing a review of Gillingham's <i>European Integration</i>, and Kieran's <a href="http://www.crookedtimber.org/archives/001226.html">link to <i>Egalitarian Capitalism</i></a> is already going to provide a source for my anti-review - adding a couple of hours to the time it's going to take to write already. Dragging a third relevant book into the picture just makes life too complicated. I presume the book is available in the UK?
