Share & Enjoy.

content: It was showing as available just now (with 1-3 weeks' lead time), but when I tried to order it went all weird: the site took me to the basket but the basket didn't contain the book. Going back to the book's page, it's now showing as not available to buy from Amazon (only from third-party sellers, at a much higher price).I guess they fixed the glitch (assuming that's what it was).

content: I have the AoE 3 hardcopy - but the Kindle edition is on sale as well.And before you scream at me Kindle is crap for textbooks - it is the Expanded Layout edition ("Print Replica") - that won't read on a normal kindle - but only on PC's, Tablets & Phones.Version on Kindle is 7th printing of 2016 with corrections.So a very nice "portable edition" for GBP 23,- with full text search. Content Index pages are not linked to destination pages it seems.But there is pop-out indexI would say it is worth every dime.- I know one could probably find it on the internet in PDF format. But I do like paying for things I like and use.
