I bought my copy from a mail order seller named Fred Struthers. I
haven't seen this book in his most recent catalog (I bought mine about a year
ago). (He sells other nifty books, though.)
His email address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] His mailing address is
Fred Struthers
Books on Cloth
P.O. Box 2706
Fort Bragg, CA 95437
He used to have a website, but there's no URL in the current catalog.
His website is http://www.rlshep.com/HTML/fred.htm.
Anyway,
it was an information-only site--you couldn't place orders through it. The
paper catalog is the thing to get if you want to buy from him, but I suppose
you could always send him email and find out if he has anything in stock that
you're interested in.
Fred Struthers (and Robb Shep, the publishing arm of the business) are
old friends and colleagues of mine. What Fred told me is, that he used
to publish catalogs with a huge number of listings, but people were not
ordering as much from the end of the catalogs. It seemed like there were
only so many listings they wanted to read through before their eyes
glazed over. So Fred decided that it might be better to publish smaller
catalogs, but more often, that contain only a selection of the books he
has in stock; and then publish the next catalog with a different selection.
In other words, it pays to ask Fred if he has a book that you want in
stock, even if it is not in the current catalog. I buy most of my new
books that were published outside the US from Fred. He's in the US, he
speaks English, there are no shipping delays, and I can order several
foreign books, published in several different countries, at one time.
