I hope this hardbound version is the "real" one with pictures. Then it would be worth buying (Total comes to USD 58.65+shipping. If its the usual "padhipagam" version without pics, there is a less expensive edition available (there may be cheaper ones, but this one was reliable, dhanya shd know, its Indian Express' site). Its INR 473+shipping. Thanks for the info Mathy!
