I'm looking for a particular book - anyone got a copy I can buy?

[Dancie]

Young George showed me a book the last time I was in deepest darkest Somerset and I've looked online for a copy ever since.

It has been described by one critic as “eye candy for turners”.

You can get it second hand on Amazon for a really stupid price and it’s actually cheaper to import it from the USA but it’s still a stupid price but a little less stupid.

Does anyone have a copy they would like to sell please?

It's a great book and cover price is $24.95 -well worth every cent.

Book was juried by Ray Leier and Jan Peters of the del mano Gallery and Kevin Wallace.

Just checked Amazon and I see what you mean about the prices!!! It's still selling at $43 from Amazon US.

Hope you find a copy at a reasonable price - have you tried any of the bookfinder services or second hand bookshops?

Not entirely what you want, but it may be worth asking your local library to get a copy. These days, you can often take a book out for up to 18 months by renewing every few weeks as long as it's not requested by anyone else.

Try making an offer on this at worst they can only say no.

A check on the mailing cost $41.35 as much almost as the book ... Total's $86.90/£54.90 ... less you can wait an ask for surface mail.

Many thanks to everyone that replied.

PERHAPS THE ASSOCIATION SHOULD PRODUCE A SIMILAR TYPE OF BOOK - WHAT SAY YOU PEOPLE?

Eric - tut.

Lazurus: I agree about Eric.

David: Many thanks, I've tried every avenue I know.

Peter: Many thanks but it still works out at £49.54 for a book that was, I think, under £20 when it was new.

Duncan: My local main library in Bath has 2 copies so I might go that way.

Steve and Woodndesign: I've been in touch with the ebay seller in the States and your right with postage its over £50 and his feedback with books isn't great (pages missing etc).

I have managed to download it onto my PC, its better than nothing but not the same as sitting in the garden on a sunny afternoon with a glass of something cold.

Much appreciated.

the association did produce something similar, I think it was in 1997 but stand to be corrected.
