I appreciate that it's difficult to buy a book when you can't pick it up and flip through it to see what it's like. So I've put some PDF files of a few of the pages from the 2002 copy of the book on my server. You need Acrobat Reader installed on your computer to view these files. Or you can see a preview of the book at GoogleBooks and read many of the pages. Preview opens a new window.
