When confronted with this ISBN, _my_ local bookshop told me that the firm
distributing these tapes (not BBC itself, they claim) ceased to exist
(They have a sign in the store : "the client is always right, he may be rude,
 misinformed or incredibly stupid, but he's never wrong ").

Any confirmations ?

(What I'm actually exspecting is that someone offers me to copy the tapes, 
 provided I make 6x1 hr tapes available to him - but I wouldn't dare, 
 because this would break copyright law, wouldn't it ?).
