Well as I think I mentioned before, I will take it off your hands if no-one else wants it
I'll give a couple of days for someone who hasn't already got a copy (and who meets my notoriously fickle and unreasonable vetting criteria) to step in, and if they don't, your cat shelter donation will be gratefully accepted.
