Cheek them, eh? I dunno if they'll appreciate that :)
Odd that the website lists it as still full price. Actually, it looks like I
was lucky and got it at even more than 50% off... I got mine for like
$13.99? maybe $14.99? It was pretty cheap. Certainly worth *that* price in
my book.
It has a rather thorough list of almost EVERY castle in the British Isles
(or so it claims-- it hasn't been wrong yet, not that I've done much
checking), each with anywhere from a sentence to a page of description. And
most of the ones with larger descriptions include overall wall/building
placement layouts with scales (like Corfe), and some include more detailed
floorplans like Bodiam (though the scale was way off in Bodiam due to a typo).
It's also got general information on castles for the 1st half of the book,
complete with more information on various specific castles, lots of photos,
and some interesting information...

Just Google :) I did a search on Google for "corfe" initially, then (after
seeing WAY too many), did a search for "corfe gallery". Turned up with lots...
