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
