It is an interesting book. Full of Cannibals and adventure and pure luck. After reading it you will understand how British cheek ended up ruling half of the world.

By the way I paid $135 for my copy about 4 years ago. Must be inflation.

Lorenzo,

Check http://www.abebooks.com/ and do a search on title and author. I just did a search and they list several copies for sale but most are VERY expensive. BUT, sort by lowest price, and there are a couple of copies available for fairly reasonable prices. (Though they may not be first editions.) Read the descriptions carefully as some are "an article extracted from the collected volume, not a reprint or an offprint" which is not the complete book.

Just thought you might like to know. Might be worth a look if you want a copy.
