Is anyone aware of a print-to-order house carrying The Book of the Craft of Dying (ed. FRANCES M. M. COMPER)? It is difficult to locate an affordable copy. Thank you.

Geez, Ben, you're starting to scare me. First The Tibetan Book of the Dead, now this.

If you're planning a trip, why worry about the cost? Let your next of kin worry about the Visa bill.

Until you get your text, Death in the Middle Ages has a chapter on the Ars moriendi. And of course The Hour of Our Death is a classic.

I like to read mine whilst lounging in a silk-lined casket.

Beach reading, my friend: no worries; I am concerned, though, that the porters of the chonyid bardo might not accept plastic.

The valuable (to me) thing about the title I am after is that it is a collection of medieval manuscripts in translation.
