    (can't find it in audio books anyway.)

    It might become available on audio cassette from Amazon at £68 (!!!)

    It also seems to be available from some download sites - whether they're legal or not I don't know.

    However, if you did want an enlarged paper copy, the way to do it would be to buy a cheap paperback edition, get a copy shop to slice off the spine with a guillotine, and then the pages would go through the auto sheet feeder on a photocopier. A digital copier should be able to enlarge, reposition the image on the page, go from double to single or double sided etc. (Copyright aside.)

    Incidentally, making a large print copy of a book wouldn't be a breach of copyright. Under UK law, people with visual impairments have the right to make 'accessible copies' for personal use, provided they lawfully own the original.
