Looking for a book

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Countryside : One Thread

I hope somebody can help me. I am looking for a book by Booker T. Whatley call Making $100,000 off 25 acres ro a tiltle close to that. I have looked on Amazon, Barnes&Nobles and other used book vendors with out success. Does anybody have a copy they would like to sell? E-mail me.

Thanks. Todd L. todd.leeman@colehaan.com

Todd- I have a copy, but I won't part with it- it's one of the best books I've read. My version was published in 1988 by the editors of The New Farm mag. There is an updated edition which was published around 1996-98, not sure which. It is available from a place called American Botanicals, but I can't find them for you right now. I remember looking it up a few months ago and found it with no problems- I just spent 30 minutes online and could not find it! It's out there, though. I'll check this post later and if no one else comes up with a source I will try again. Keep looking, cause it's an excellent book.

Well done, Sarah. Unfortunately, I just checked the site and that book is out of print. Todd, you might email them anyway and see if they can find a copy of it for you.

Interlibrary loan is about to supply me with a copy.

A great search engine for used and out-of-print books is: www.bookfinder.com . Be sure to specify used books as it searches new and used sites. It appears some of the listings for this book have gotten expensive, this book used to be fairly easy to find. I'm guessing more people are considering moving to the country.

www.abebooks.com also is a good way to find old books, it has listings of bunches of independant book sellers.
