Roly sells his book for £4.99 plus 60p postage to people in the UK. Postage would obviously be a bit more outside UK.
Here is the link to his website where he sells them:

A very good read, even for somebody who already knows alot about steam! If you are just starting out in the steam world, this is a must!

Two book set? Can't both be mine 'cos I've only written one.
Just a word of warning if you're looking at one of mine second hand - don't pay more than a fiver. The last one I saw on Ebay sold for some ridiculous amount!

Most of Paper'n'Steam's copies of old books are photocopied reproductions. They are better than nothing if you want the information but not collectable if that's what you want.

Yup, that was me 
Not only photocopied rubbish, but poorly photocopied.
Misaligned, off angle, etc
Simply poor photocopies of instructions, crammed into a book.
I think there was one page of typed up stuff, typed from the SE3 instructions found in the book anyway 
A true waste of money for me, and not all that helpful
Remembering too, the time I bought it was at the time I got my first Mamod, so was a true test for a true newbie.
Just wanted to add, in this edit:
It helped me with running the engines, but as for care of them, no help whatsoever
