Thanks Kat!
No credit card, so I can't buy anything from Amazon, e-book or otherwise, unfortunately.
(and I suspect, like you, that those e-books won't be available to Europeans, like so many things on US sites...)
I think I'll just wait until I'm a bit richer,

, or might try and get it in a trade some time; perhaps there's someone who has bought two MM sets and wants to part with a book.
And I have at least two friends who I think will buy the MM edition at some point, then I could borrow the book from them (and admire the gold edges!).
