Seaham Harbour
« on: Thursday 13 March 08 23:23 GMT (UK) »
Hi

I am looking for a book Seaham Harbour: 1st hundred years by Tom McNee and David Angus.  Is there anyone who knows where to get a copy - it was produced about 15 years ago.  I have found a copy online for over £30 but know that one of the authors only sold the last of his copies a few months ago for £5. 

I am in the south of England otherwise I'd be scouring the bookshops of the north for it!

Hi JoTH

Difficult one - it is a very scarce book and you may be lucky to come across it.

There seem to be several copies in different records offices - depends really if you just wanted to view one for information or keep it.

If I was in your position and wanted a copy to keep I would be buying a copy at any price.  Once they are out of print, they are a devil to find.

There are several companies on line that will do booksearches in shops/on line for you but then costs start escalating! Sad

If you are prepared to wait a lonnnnng time you may get a cheap one Huh Huh Huh

Guess only you know what a copy is worth - but Happy Hunting

Hi Stan

You have a better search tactic than me! Grin

Are u permitted to say which site?  Tried the norm ones for me, but I quite often chase out of prints for my Dad so would be interested

Thanks Su

Hi Su and Stan

Thanks for your replies.  My main concern about buying the book is that I haven't seen it.  One of the authors Dave Angus has a great website www.east-durham.co.uk which has some wonderful pictures (including a couple with my Dad in!), and I'm guessing his book will be similar.

I did purchase a book on the memories of Seaham and was really disappointed with it - hence my reservation in paying over the price for it.

Have either of you ever seen the book?

Joanna,
I have in front of me a copy of the book you mentioned and also "The Changing Face of Seaham 1928 - 1992" by Tom McNee, pictures by David Angus. I will gladly send both of them to you as they were complimentary ones that I had given. Hope this helps.
