Devlin states that the basic ideas of situation theory have not changed much since the first hardback edition of the book in 1991.
One cannot even resort to the stock complaint about price for, to those who cannot afford the hardback edition, a paperback is available at very modest cost.
At £60 (hardback only) it is not cheap, but it represents an excellent investment for anyone (including sedimentologists) using thin sections as a research resource.
Retailing at £45, the hardback is just about affordable for a personal bookshelf in addition to the library, and is a very worthwhile investment.
At £60 in hardback, the book runs to more than 800 pages, printed in full colour and is good value on that score.
Anyway, those studies were either published in hardback only or in pamphlet form; their audience was largely confined to specialists.
The bound copy is available in soft ($57.50) or hardback form ($69.50) and takes 3 to 4 weeks to be delivered.
The two volumes are bound in stylish hardback black covers.
