21 forum posts | Hello. Does .................................................................................book? A friend's child wants to 'make something,' and I thought this would be a good project for her. The book is not available in the US and postage from the UK to US is prohibitive. Alternative project suggestions are welcome. Merry Christmas and a prosperous 2019 to you all! Edited to remove possible copyright infringement Edited By JasonB on 14/12/2018 08:08:35 |

(Never buy books internationally from Amazon if you can avoid it. There's always somewhere cheaper.) Looks like a great project for a kid. ( I might have to make one myself.)

21 forum posts | Post was 9 pounds on one of the English sites. I had not considered AmazonUK. US Amazon has a used edition for over $50! It is made to run off a vacuum cleaner and is aboout 300mm high. I will keep looking on the sites you mention.
