Lovely unread copy. Just for clarity this book is about the small racing yacht type of laser, not the stimulated emission of electromagnetic radiation type of laser (death rays and what-not). All our books at the moment are reduced so the price you see reflects a 33% discount. You may be interested in The Literaticus Book Service.

Part of the 'Sail to Win' Series, NOT the 'Build a death-ray and achieve global domination' series. Due to weight, postage will be less than quoted (UK around £1.50, rest of world around £5), invoice will be amended on purchase.…
