I've backed it but wow those postage costs for a single book are really high/off putting. I'm sure the book will be well protected (and it looks amazing) when it's sent but it's still £15-£20 for a £30 hardback book.

no problem! Yeah, would love to get hold of it but it doesn't seem to come up for sale very often and/or is expensive when it does. Hey ho, the search goes on!
