Popular Post Captain Colonial Posted February 15 Popular Post Posted February 15 Many of you will be aware of this book, published back in 2000: Due to it being out of print for many years and rare used copies being on sale for at least £35, I decided to try to track down the authors and see if I could permission to create a digital copy for the club's archives. After quite a bit of investigation work, I finally tracked down Jeremy Bouckley today and we had a lovely long chat on the phone. Now truth be told, I know about copyright laws and my begging bowl request was rather cheeky, so I wasn't surprised or upset when he very, very politely turned my request down. On the good news front though, he is working on an updated version of the book to bring it up to current, with plans to print and sell them. I've asked him to keep in touch with me with any developments on that front so I can pass it on to the rest of the club. Fingers crossed! Oh well, it was worth a try... 18 Quote
Robin Parker (Red Spider) - Yorkshire AO Posted February 15 Posted February 15 I have a copy. Bought it from Westfield at Stoneleigh one year, I think it was out of publication but they were selling copies off. An up to date book would be great. 3 Quote
Paul Hurdsfield - Joint Manchester AO Posted February 15 Posted February 15 I too have a copy. £35 you say🤔 I reckon Because mine has my DNA on it, it has to be worth £50 at least 😉😂 2 Quote
KevanP Posted February 17 Posted February 17 I have a copy too. My sister bought it for me when I bought my first Westfield 4 years ago. She ordered it from Westfield, so they must have had some copies laying around then. Quote
