Aww,
I was just eBaying to see if I could get a copy to take into my open-notes Computer Science exams. You're allowed one textbook, and I'd have liked that one.

Hah, found it.
Can't be that rare, I found two copies selling for under a fiver each. Maybe reprints, though.

brown cover?

No, the 1979 cover.
I misread the bit on rarity and thought it applied to all versions of the book, not just the MoD one.

Even I've got that one.
And the Usborne Spotter's Guide to Dinosaurs, however much sense that does or does not make.
