6th edition 1981 with slightly different title, arrived. Seems to be the same book unless 7th edition very revised. Only £7 paper back. Some bedtime reading ahead!
PS just checked "Since the sixth edition of this classic text/reference was published in 1981, there have been so many developments in the field that the new seventh edition represents an almost total rewrite of the subject matter. " oops, oh well!

I got a copy of hasluck from amazon. they had an original for £123! the very poor copy was readable but only £16. I think it was published in 1907. what a marvelous book. I reckon about 75% is totally irrelevant nowadays. but the other 25% is superb. highly recommended. his middle name was nooncreebtw Paul n hasluck he died in 1931
