At 9.95 pounds (heh, every now and again I miss my old anglocentric
typewriter with the 'pounds' key), is it a hardcover? (I remember it was
originally a hardcover)

I've been looking for it ever since I stupidly lent my copy to that chick
that was visiting my housemate back in 1986... (made a similar mistake with
my Patti Smith bootlegs)

Hype is quite a good book actually, though it didn't exactly set me alight
or anything, but, thinking about it, I'm reminded of Mike Moorcock's
comments that Calvert ought to have stuck to music, and given up his
literary pretensions. Personally I think Bob's novel is at least as good as
Mike's rock album, and at least Bob didn't tell him he ought to stick to
books ;)
