Isn't it? Not sure about today but I bought a copy maybe 10 years ago after never having seen it for sale in living memory before that. It did come with some wrapping around the front that said it was of its time though.
I got a new French copy more recently than that as well (can't remember when exactly but it may have been in the last two years).

- coldtea 2y agoShame, it's one of the funniest ways to blow up a rhino!

- jamesfinlayson 2y agoI just checked my French and English copies - the black and white edition was first translated to English in 1991 and the coloured edition was first translated to English in 2005. The coloured editions seem to be the same in both languages except for the rhino encounter (plus the English edition having a content warning before page 1). I believe the changed rhino encounter was initially done for the Dutch translation many years ago.
