Re: Radiation Detection & Measurement

I recently visited the Kansas State University book store and noted that
they were asking $110 new and $70 used for the third edition of Knoll. The
used copies were in very good condition. I would suggest browsing through a
university bookstore.

Folks

Well, the third edition of Knoll is out, and it's received the glowing
review one would have expected, in Health Physics. But, as far as I can
tell, it's only available in hardcover, at ~ US $110. The second edition
was about $60, in 1989. I would run out and buy a copy straightaway, but,
frankly, I can't afford it. Do you suppose that we could petition the
publisher to introduce a trade paperback version? I'd think that they'd
sell enough more of them to make up the difference in whatever profits were
lost on a per-unit basis. Or am I again revealing my wishful naivete?
