| Been looking for this book for some time now. Had it on back order from Amazon for the last few months, but just got an email from them saying it is no longer available. Seen it in one or two places but for really stupid money - anything upto £200 !!! Direct from Desert Winds Publishing, it was £36, which is about what Amazon were selling it for. If anyone knows of, or sees a copy at a decent price (upto £50) please let me know. | |

| One of the problems I'm finding is that many book sellers are listing it, but when you place the order, the delivery is dependant on the publishers delvery times.
And ......... I know the publisher is out of stock !! | |

| Got one coming. The publishers are running a small reprint and I've been lucky enough to get my name on the list. Cost me £40 incl. postage.
Secondhand these books are still fetching loads of money.
If you're interested in getting one, email them at the above link. | |

| No, it says that to be absolutely sure of reliabilty, then you should buy Japanese, to ensure that you vehicle will remain totaly dependable at all times | |

| Don't think you'll get anywhere - got to be a really big bribe for them to even consider accepting | |

| Tom Sheppard (Desert Winds Publishing) is donating two of his books for me to auction/sell to raise a bit of cash for H4H. The books are the new 4x4 book and a copy of Quiet for a Tuesday - see here. Not only a bit more cash for the pot but a bit more scratched black paint that can be hidden with another sticker | |

Not only a bit more cash for the pot but a bit more scratched black paint that can be hidden with another sticker Got home from work today and another parcel from Tom Sheppard. This time containing a donated copy of The Nobility of wilderness. So three travel/expedition books to be auctioned. | |
