In book form, the complete English translation is in a set of 2 volumes with 800+ total pages. The original Norwegian version is not available except as a rare used book.

Price (total including mailing, as of August 2005; subject to change)

Orders will be collected and sent to the printer in groups. Soft cover sets may take up to 8 weeks, while hard cover sets may take up to 12 weeks for delivery. The printing is done as a "print on demand" service, with the books printed when they are ordered. This lengthens the delivery time but eliminates the inventory problem, making the books less expensive.

The translation is also available on CD in .PDF format which is readable, searchable, and printable using Adobe Reader (free software). The cost of the CD is $25 which includes shipping and packaging.

Checks or money orders only must accompany orders.
