I've been looking to get a copy of MA to brush up my learning on these dark winter nights. It's not cheap if anyone has one their looking to sell let me know

[Davidlong1990]

I managed to get mine at the APF for £55 but have seen them going for £75ish on amazon pal

[Andyd1606]

£55 is a bit more reasonable I've seen the ones on amazon for that price it's definitely not a cheap book!

It's £40 on the ISAs England and Ireland chapters site. Think there's p+p on top
