I wholeheartedly agree. I got mine in USA last year - after Jester recommended it to me as a good reference for beginners. Its slightly different from the UK version, but substantially identical - and I got it for only $22
The other Collins publication I have at the moment From the local Libary
is Goodwood Routers by Albert Jackson & David Day http://www.collins.co.uk/books/default.asp?id=24601
It must be the best routing book I have seen so far.
