Would be far sensible if this document could be looseleaf which could be updated as the regulations change rather than being produced in book form which must be purchased at vast expense!

Hi Darius, you don't pay for printing the book, because that costs pennies, you pay for the author rights, if they only wanted to make it cheaper they would publish it on the internet, so anybody could print it and have it next day on site, you get thicker books with better quality paper for 20 quid. It only costs £65 because the knew it was going to be a bestseller this year, so why give up the profit, all sparks are used to paying that much for a book anyway
