Seen one on ebay very cheap but also noticed it had a DVD to go along with it on other sales. Considering hanging fire & buying both the book & DVD package in a few weeks so I can see the movements in motion rather than just in the book.

That way less chance of me over thinking & interpreting the book wrongly.. :lol:
