Evidently, there are only 500 in the first printing, but I bet Stefan 
didn't give them *all* away. :-).

I bet that if you put in a special order to Amazon with the ISBN and 
the publisher in it, they'll manage to sell one to you on order. Upon 
receiving a bunch of orders for the book from some place like Amazon, 
if and when the publisher sells out, they'll probably print some 
more, or at least make a deal to print it on this side of the pond.

Cheers,
RAH
