buy the book? | Forum — The Modern Antiquarian

Hi all,
My first time to this site. I am thrilled to have found it, being an exceeding curious stonehag myself. However, I can't find any detailed information about The Modern Antiquarian book or a place to buy it on the site. From the site map I clicked the "more info" link under the book's image. Hoping to read if detailed instructions on how to get to these sites are included, but that was not in there. Then I clicked on the Head Heritage Merchandiser link under the book, then on the books link at the top of their home page. Only three items were listed there and The Mod Antiquarian was not for sale there. Isn't this a bit odd?
I am planning another trip to the UK soon, so would like to find out if this book will really be a useable guide for me to find sites and if I must go to Amazon to buy it.
I look forward to exploring this site further and chatting in the forums with my fellow stoners.

Hi Bellybones, I thought that you were trying to sell a book for a while!!!! :-)
Good to have you here and I hope you like the site

You can find the book on Amazon
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0722535996/qid=1127772681/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_2_1/026-8176612-1643629

I don't know whether they post internationally though

Regards

Hi, Bellybones,
Welcome to TMA - here (amongst other things) you'll find everything you wanted to know about them there stones, imparted by some of the friendliest people you could hope to meet (and I have met a few, and can vouch for them!). I look forward to your input, but please, please please try to avoid Am*zon if you can (I used to be a bookseller in a previous life....). The TMA (the big papery one) is currently (I believe) out of print, but secondhand copies are available on abebooks (www.abebooks.com) and sometimes on eBay - if you can get the limited CD that accompanied TMA for under £50, you're a genius!

Welcome

Peace

I've got a really rare copy that JC himself gave to me, unread and unsigned!
The more common signed, falling apart at the bindings issue come up on ebay quite often
