Crazy, ha? The book is OOP and I really want it! Does anybody know of any other book store online? I already checked ebay and half and no luck!

I would love some suggestions... Thanks!

Oh yeah, and I already asked the author and she says she will never reproduce that book again, EVER!

I'm no help, but I can relate! I found a super "old school" Wilton encyclopedia at the library and loved it. It had so many great piping ideas. There are 3 or 4 different ones and, of course, all are out of print. They're from the 70's. I've checked e-bay and I just can't fork out that kind of money!!!
Good luck to you!!

WOW! That is craziness! Can you go to the Library & make copies of good pages? I wonder why she wouldn't reproduce the book... maybe her publisher? I would suggest that you keep checking ebay periodically - I think they may actually have a way of sending you notification if something you want comes up for bid (it's been a while though). I'm sure you've searched via google or yahoo... sheesh, I just wish I could help you!

Hi there, don't know if this helps but they have it on www.amazon.co.uk for £15.00.

. . . I don't know anything about this book . . . but OOP books can command a good price . . . I would keep trying ebay (but you may have to pay a pretty penny if you are bidding against someone else that wants it just as badly as you do) . . . but atleast you know how much is "reasonable" for this item based on the amazon price list . . . another way to look at it is as an investment . . . chances are the book will hold its value (possibly even increase) . . . so I guess it all depends on how badly you reeeally want this book . . . (what can you tell me about it, as I said, I don't know anything about it) . . . I have successfully brought books in from overseas to Canada . . . . . perhaps you can too . . . http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/0969252315/ref=dp_olp_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1214558487&sr=8-1

How about overstock.com? Good luck!

www.abebooks.com is also a good source for finding used books

Thanks ladies! I tried Amazon UK BUT even though it is listed, it says underneath that it is out of stock... I'll try Amazon CA!

Thanks! I'll keep on checking eBay!

And my local library, they don't have it. I wouldn't make copies but at least learn as much as possible while I have it!

eBay has a new Want-It-Now feature. You post a listing for an item you want and the amount you want to pay and the sellers come to you. I don't think you have to pay to do that either.

Making copies of a book for yourself is not copyright infringement.

IF, however, you were making copies of a book to SELL, that is copyright infringement.

When I used to do counted cross-stitch on a regular basis, I would photocopy the original pattern, so that I could use it again. Sometimes I would even make the copy larger than the original to make it easier to read.

Even Kinkos allows that type of copying without question, as long as you tell them the copies are for your personal use.

my local library didn't have that book either *but* they were able to search for it in other libraries around the country and found it in Georgia, it think? at any rate, maybe your library can do the same for you, if not, call other ones. i scanned the pages that i found the most useful...

I also checed both websites for used book but NO luck! I'll try ebay again.... Thanks again ladies! You all rock!

Through Amazon you can buy books from other sellers ( I always do that).
Sometimes they are new or just used once.
