Ouch!!!

It's not a very thick book (a couple of hundred pages) and I didn't
realise it was rare. I got my copy for a couple of pounds in a second
hand bookshop about 20 years ago.

It is quite an interesting book (I've dug mine out), it does show shift
register and counter circuits, for example. But not at that price!
