Though this book is expensive (as are all Springer books), consider Springer's "MyCopy" option. If your library subscribes to one or more of Springer's e-book collections, you will be eligible to purchase a "MyCopy" version of this volume, either hard copy or electronic, for only $25. This means that if you are fortunate enough to be at an institution with a library that has the requisite subscriptions, you and your students could purchase the book reasonably, making class use a possibility.
