or e-mail Amy at the RGS (a.morris@rgs.org). I think I paid about $100 including postage.

What about the big SOLD OUT logo over that particular book???

My sincere apologies Uninformed! Regardless, I did give two options. Why don't you try the other one??? As it happens I sent an e-mail (which reached the author no less) to enquire into whereabouts I might find a copy. This led me to Amy. I'll tell you what Uninformed, why don't I just get you a copy myself and save you any hassle?

take a pill mate, I was actually asking considering that link had been posted by others than just you, so I figured the SOLD OUT must have been old or incorrect info....

If Im interested in getting a copy it will be in hardcover. Thanks for the offer.

Good for you Serg.

Next time don't yell a smartarse response at me when I try to help someone and I won't get so ****ed off.

I bought mine six or seven weeks ago by just getting off my backside and asking a couple of questions of the people who know the real answers. I thought others might benefit from it, especially since they asked the question.

I'm happy. I have the book already. Yes it's only paperback. From here on I'll keep my trap shut and let others find their own way shall I?

??? generally mean a question....

had it been a statement or so called remark I wouldnt have added them....

and whats all this getting off your backside/asking the right people for real answers stuff....its a book, not the holy grail...I went straight to amazon and found copies...it wasnt rocket science

im sure others are greatful... i was simply curious as the same link posted before you was some time ago and things change.....and even somtimes web sites arnt updated....

so I guess asking you for a real answer wasnt the way to go then....

We should really take this off the forum, but Mate, get off your bloody high horse.

Someone, not you, asked for a point in the right direction. I offered it. It worked for me not so long ago so why not him. You chimed in with your capitals and ??? (one usually suffices). I got my nose out of joint as I was simply trying to help someone.

Good for you for finding them elsewhere. I too managed to get one. Pats on the back all around.

If you want me to provide a real answer then ask me a real question. Think before you hit Submit.

the sold out was in capitals on the website also...

you made an assumption and ran with it.

sorry my english/grammer isnt perfect...

im done

Hi guys,
I did try Amy at RGS before I posted my question.

This was her reply:
Dear Finn,

Many thanks for your email enquiry. I am afraid to say that we no longer have any copies available of Tom Shepperd's Vehicle Dependent Expedition Guide. The book is now also out of print and so we will not be having any additional stock made available.

My apologies for the inconvenience caused.

Best wishes,

Amy

I am happy for any help, so let me know if there is another source.

Cheers,
Finn
