Yeah, sorry, should've included a URL,

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0201703092/

The one I have is from a few years ago, has a purple cover (but typeface is
the same), and I don't recall the "using SQL variants" in the title but I'm
assuming it's the same. This one has 5 stars and glowing reports so you
probably won't go wrong either way :-)
