It's behind another paywall and requires you to register..
Like the 3 books I've ordered which aren't available at your local bookshop. Why don't we all eat berries picked off trees on our lanes?
Chris - you can register and get several free articles per month.
Ironically I remember Alan of Rockfax making the same point a few years ago, that people should buy his new guide through normal retailers or his website as amazon basically paid them almost nothing per copy sold.

What I said was that you should buy books from specialist retailers to encourage them to stock the books. In fact authors and trade retailers make only a small amount less on books sold through Amazon. This smaller amount also applies to most non-outdoor shop retailers like Waterstones, etc. and also most sales outside the UK. Basically it requires a second level of distribution to get to these places and that is where the extra cut is taken but it isn't that bad, and in many cases only occurs on sales you wouldn't have got elsewhere. The problem with Amazon though is that it is so powerful that it is now taking sales away from outdoor retailers and it would be a shame, but understandable, if the outdoor retailers stopped stocking large ranges of books.Alan
