Looking for a book about Ludham
« on: Thursday 25 June 09 12:48 UTC (UK) »
Hi, all,

I'm trying to locate a book, "Ludham, A Norfolk Village 1800 - 1900",
by Joan Snelling. I haven't been able to find one by "Googling".

Does anyone know of any shop where I could find it?

Thanks for looking.

Roger  -  have you tried this

www.oldpond.com

They are apparently in Suffolk and specialise in "Countryside" books  Smiley

Thanks, Mum, for the rapid response,

I've had a look and they don't list the book I'm after.

If I can't find it then I might try e-mailing all the Norfolk publishers. If they all think someone is interested then they might order a reprint! Grin

Might be faster to look at somewhere like

www.booklovers.co.uk

where they have a trace facility  Smiley

Quicker than waiting for a reprint   Wink

Thanks for both those suggestions.

If no-one else has seen the book anywhere then I'll try the letter to the person mentioned on Rootsweb the other forum, and if I don't strike lucky there then I'll try the "Booklovers" trace.

Thanks.

Hi Ricky,

On the number you found for me I spoke to the daughter of Joan Snelling, the authoress.

Long story short, there was a print run of 1000, and they haven't any left, so my only option is to order one from the library for now, and then wait for a s/h one to come up for sale.

Mrs. Hat told me to thank you and Mum44 for your efforts.

Shouldn't be more than about £8,000.! Shocked Shocked Grin Grin
