  Haven't yet.
  
  But I saw it for myself a few weeks ago in the Books Kinokuniya Ngee Ann City store (the "Singapore Main Store").
  
  Somehow, there were browsing copies. From them, the story is quite "detailed" but quite mixed according to the time and the types of transportation mentioned.
  
  Each copy costs about S$45.05, too expensive already.
  
  But no matter how much it costs, I AM VERY DETERMINED TO GET ONE FOR MYSELF.
