That's what I just did :) It's a very classy production, and I find the instructions to be much more believable than those in the back of the 1983 reprint of Le Pompe. As far as owning it... on 11/5 there was a copy available on bookfinder.com, but it appears to be gone now. I recall that it was a bit high for my budget, but now that I know how nice the books are I will snap up the next one I see!
