The list price is now 85 British Pounds. See http://ukcatalogue.oup.com/product/9780197264843.do The book will be available in the U.S. on Feb. 15, 2012; but presumably U.S. customers can purchase the book now via Oxford's UK web site (see above).
The book looks handsome. Buy it -- or ask your librarian to do so. The book is, I think, also important.
