Topband: DXing on the Edge - Ordering Information for International Amateurs

[Brian D G3VGZ]

Just received (half) a copy from Amazon UK. 

It is now packaged up for return to amazon, I assume it is faulty. it ends
abruptly in chapter 10 and is about 7mm thick as against the 13mm advertised
by amazon.

Am I correct in my assumption? Is it safe re-ordering from Amazon UK or is
this just a one off?
