Funnily enough, I’ve got a few seriously old books — from the 1920’s — that have a similar notice on them, for sale only in Europe. Which only goes to show that restrictions are nothing new — it’s just that publishers used to be less able to implement them.
As an American, I feel all excluded. I demand my copy of Basic Engineering Circuit Analysis, 9th ed.

What’s that? I can get it here for only $196?

Ah shucks! That was on my TBR list, too. 🙂
Milena – wise words indeed. Yes, I suppose those older kinds of restrictions were almost empty threats.
Jonathan – never mind, your circuits will remain shoddy…
TK – It’s all right, the ending was rubbish anyway.
