I see Graham has posted on Facebook quoting from his book. So maybe try face book as I am sure he will have a link to his book.

I havent seen that.

Don't really want to buy it hence asking if someone would lend me their copy.

I appreciate that you don’t really want to buy it, MMaS, but to me it’s a worthwhile keepsake. Good to refer back to as and when. If you change your mind about buying a copy then I believe that it’s available on Amazon and Waterstones. It might also be worthwhile contacting Graham direct and asking if he keeps any copies to hand.

Help a brother out.
You can buy it for a couple of quid.
If not you can borrow mine for 30 quid £10 for me, £10 for the club and a tenner for Graham

Have you managed to get hold of a copy of Graham’s book, MMaS?

OK, you want to read it but you don't want to buy it? Suppose everyone had the same attitude. Graham would never get any recompense for his time and effort in writing the book, nor the publishers for their investment in producing it.

Thanks for your response OB - as useful as ever

Out of interest OB, what is your view on the Public Library service ? I know that GB's book is unlikely to be there but their shelves are still full of other titles.

It's a good question, James. It was in my mind when I was making the post.

I think a library is a great resource for, say, youngsters that cannot afford books but we want to encourage them to develop a reading habit and a love of books, or students working on a project for which they need to consult a wide range of sources, or for access to out-of-print or rare books. (Although these days, out-of-print books are increasingly easy to buy through AbeBooks and similar online sites). The downside of a library is that you don't have a book for very long, so you can't use it as a reference source that you dip into now and again.

I don't know Me Mums a Shot's financial position (nor do I want to) but I feel if you can afford to buy a book, and you expect to make good use of it, you should. As I say, if everyone begged and borrowed books, authors would never get recompense and publishers would go under.

Most authors don't expect to make money out of writing and most of them are 100% correct ... they don't!

[Me Mums a Shot]

You're making a lot of assumptions OB (as per usual) but I can't be bothered to engage with I've got a book to find and read.

Now where's a good library I wonder?
