Hi,
Can anyone recommend any decent places to buy the IEC 18th Edition Regs book online?

Has anyone found any 'gems' out there to purchase the book from for a reasonable price?
Thanks!
Hi, I am new to this forum and hoping for some advice. Does anyone know if it's possible to get your hands on an old regs book, 14th edition prior to metric conversion. Maybe a PDF download somewhere if a physical copy is out of the question.

I admit to not taking too much notice of the 18th edition changes as I only took my 18th exam last week (no excuses I am not a good spark like most on here).
