Mine's not like that, it's just a plain green hardback cover...I'm presuming it's the same one. Now I'm tempted to keep it, agh no, I must downsize...

It was published in 1937. You'd have to check online used book vendors, or go visit some of the shops described by some of our diligent Vault bookshop-crawlers and hope for a miracle.
Might be available via interlibrary loan, if you are in the UK.

I'm snowed under right now with reading material, so will wait a few weeks before putting my name down for this 1000+pg behemoth.

Thanks, Swampi! I'm currently reading an immensely long novel by Dorothy Dunnett, King Hereafter, which is a speculative interpretation of the life of the historical King Macbeth (who lived and ruled in 11th century Scotland, or Alba as it was then known). It's grim and quite strange... I might do a separate post on it. I mostly read on my commute and my lunch break so it will take a while... I have been reading it fairly steadily for around 2 weeks now.
