Does anyone have this book? It's no longer in print, I'd pay to get a photocopy of the entire book if anyone has or if anyone wants to sell it? Saw some pictures of it on her website and am gutted to see it's no longer in print and doesn't seem available anywhere.

TIA

Nicole

Have your tried ebay or half.com?? Sometimes they have OOP books. Sorry I can't be of any more help, I don't own this book.

Nicole,

Try www.biblioquest.com.au and they can help you search for out of print books.

Oh jo_ann you are a sweet heart, thank you, unfortunately when I clicked on the buy it button it took me to Amazon UK and it states that the book is currently unavailable and they don't know if it will be back in stock. Thank you though! I shall keep searching though! Thanks you guys, appreciate your effort in helping me search! icon_biggrin.gif

Thanks bobwonderbuns, her website is where I found it, you are right there is pictures on there, but they are under the Out of print heading and then there is a further blurb to look in your local library or try second hand. I will be looking in the library shortly but I doubt it will be out here in our Aussie libraries. Hence I thought maybe someone on here might have it.

I so appreciate all your help I shall continue the search! icon_biggrin.gif

Yes! I picked up a copy last week - it's her best one so far, IMO.
Her "cake jewellery" is fantastic! thumbs_up.gif

Heather,

Oh thank you, how lovely, unfortunately the conversion makes it $127 AUD before postage *sigh*, I will keep looking, or if I really want it I may have to consider paying that much!

Thank you I so appreciate the link.

Nicole,

I was recently (and desperately!) searching for an OOP Colette Peters book. I was able to find one through Ebay that was affordable (read acceptable!) by posting a "Favourite Search". It took a couple of months, but I did find one, for about a third of the price most people were asking! Great book, in great condition.

That's OK Heather! I appreciate you taking the time to look for it for me! I will likely take OzCookie's advice and keep trolling ebay! Unless someone who has the book spies the thread.

Thanks so much guys, really appreciate it!
