The book on eBay was not so expensive, but I suppose it depends on how badly you want it. IT is a rare book, I have only found two on the net, and the prices were more than twice as much.

My question is: does it offer any information not available in other, less expensive books?
Pant is very expensive, but it covers very wide area and goes into minute details. Astvatsaturyan is a classic and I pity you, guys, who cannot read Russian!
Is Jacob yet another "coffee table" or "eastern sword for the beginner"-type book or is it a serious study offering indispensable and unique information?
