        Are you _sure_ you want this book? I've read it, and found it pretty fluffy
in terms of content, plus she takes a rather dim view of the conlanging
activity. Several other people on this list have expressed their displeasure
in the book.
        However, if you still want to read it, try an interlibrary loan. But I would
definitely recommend against purchasing it, seeing as it is out of print and
a sorry waste of a lovely tree. IMO. :)
