Any idea where can it be bought? There seems to be no kindle edition and is long out of print.
However we must say that there is not a spanish translation of the book this is really important for the spanish people. I will try to read in english only if it was/were free.

My apologies, Richard. If I think of it, I try to identify and warn people ahead of time if it is hard to locate or pricier than normal. I never even thought that would be an issue for one of Benson's books.
I found one on Thriftbooks though it cost a bit more than I like to pay.
A better digital version (scanned) can be found here. I scrolled towards the bottom and all the pages were readable/viewable. https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?i...
Unfortunately, you can't download this book if you don't log in.
More links for this and other books by the author can be found here: https://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu...
@Richard: you can download an epub version from the Archive.org link Manuel posted above.
Got it, many thanks Manuel!John, if it is hard to find all the more reason to read it :-)
In one thing we must agree this group has in his majority people who speak english it is usual that they search an english edition.
Omg. Laughing at the description of the Smith family 😀
So excited for this one! I love all Benson's books and this one is really interesting one.

Sometimes. In this case I have learned something about myself. After spending all day at the computer, It is nigh impossible for me to force myself to sit back down and read a book on the screen.
