There are a few used copies in bookstores around the US it would seem, mine was such a copy, although it does lack the gorgeous sleeve, that'd be the only thing about it. Ofc there is some slight internal spine damage, but not out of harm, but out of love. Martin's is absolutely brilliant for referencing anything not specifically tied to a collection (since the collection books are better at that). It gives a nice summary and overlook of each century it deals with. And it has weapons.
And here's Claude Blair's book, more of a read than Martin's, but for textual research, it's nigh unbeatable. I'd rank it up there with a few of the recent PHD-thesis' that have shown up.
