Hi and welcome to the site :)
I haven't come across the book myself, sorry, but you may find books of interest on amazon, e-bay or online at various large book shops.
-
Thankyou,
The only one l can find from your recommendation is in the USA,But the cost of shipping is very high,l will keep looking,
Thanks again,
-
I managed to find out the ISBN for you :) ISBN: 9780860670827
Perhaps you can order it in your local bookshop now.
-
Thankyou,
it is out of print now they tell me,
l will have to look elsewhere.Perhaps a secondhand one.l have 3 weeks to look,
thankyou for your efforts,
-
I have just googled Abebooks.co.uk, put in the ISBN No. and they have one second hand copy available.
Hope this helps

Thanks,Just tried and it is Brentford not Wath,Seems they have the same number which is strange,
-
I'm sorry - I must need new specs - I only checked the No. However, I just looked on Amazon.com and putting in the book title, two came up, one new and one used.
Hope you are lucky this time

Tried this,but again it is Brentford,Very odd,
Thanks,l will persevere,
-
That is very odd. You don't think the title has been changed and that is why the ISBN is the same. Forgive me if this is a stupid suggestion - I have no knowledge of the area's geography.

Brentford isn't in Yorkshire ;D
Perhaps the ISBN I gave you was incorrect. :-\
-
Ooops, told you I didn't know the geography of the area!!
-
Thanks to all,The isbn number is the same for both books by the looks,Ah well,l will keep looking,
