It's a British printing, and I do have them for $24.95, direct from the UK.
It is indeed a repair and service manual; while it may not go into very
detailed and experienced repairs such as ground-up trans rebuilding, it does
have very good info on the typical major and minor repairs that a "backyard
mechanic" is likely to do.  Go to the books page on my website to order it.
