Amazon.com lists Warner for USD 76.50 but Hellier is only USD 61.70
(both in paperback). :-(
On the other hand, you might go for:
Cataclysmic Variables and Related Objects (Astrophysics and Space
Science Library) by M. Livio and G. Shaviv for USD 224.00 (but in
hardcover), or
Cataclysmic Variables (Astrophysics & Space Science Library) by H.
Drechsel, Y. Kondo, and Jürgen H. Rahe (Hardcover - Dec 7, 2004) for USD
419.00, or
Cataclysmic Variables (Astrophysics and Space Science Library) by A.
Bianchini, M. Della Valle, and M. Orio (Hardcover - Dec 31, 1899) (sic
on the date) for USD 279.00
