Looking for a book

Postby UCANDOIT » Thu Nov 12, 2009 7:48 am

I'm looking to buy a book by Bill Lathrop titled "Modern Conduit Mare Profiles" I can't seem to locate a copy anywhere! If someone here on this site has any idea, I would greatly appreciate it!

I bought the book from his website which unfortunately doesn't exist anymore. However I bet you can get a copy from the publisher. I am not at home at the moment but will look it up when I am back unless someone else gets to that info for you first. Excellent book.

I think it was self-published which means that you'll only get that book from Mr. Lathrop or EBay. I've found if I check EBay once a month, sooner or later EVERYTHING shows up there.

I got a reply from Bill. He says "Thanks!" to those who send him good wishes. Health problems have prevented him from working and participating in the forum. His book is out of stock. I believe he is working with someone to take up the task. So rats, I can't get a copy.

I've found www.alibris.com to be a good source for used and out-of-print books.

Unfortunately, I didn't see the one you're looking for.
