Title: Looking for a book...probably requires UK help
Post by: Pokeyonekenobie on October 21, 2020, 03:19:23 PM: One of the librarians I work with is looking for a physical copy of "Do It for Your Mum" about the band British Sea Power. He says that every copy he's ever seen has been outrageously priced-I think it might not have been widely available in the US and that might be the reason. So I thought perhaps I could ask if anyone out there has a copy or could find a copy cheap that they'd be willing to part with.

Edit to add: He just sent me the link from Amazon UK and it's outrageously priced there, too. So I guess it didn't have a large print run. But I figure if I ask and the answer is "Nobody has one for cheap" then we're not any worse off than we were before.

It seems a reasonable price for a limited edition book but I don't know if they'll ship to the US.
