Ernie, The book's price has not gone up since the second edition was printed as I ordered it this spring. It is availibale from Hearthstone Bookshop, which has a site on the web, for 35.00 along with most of the other volumes in the series. Hearthstone is a great store for these kinds of books. They ship fast, and cheap. This is who i ordered from to get this book. The website is : www.hearthstonebooks.com . Enjoy! D.
