book wanted "The Howison Saga"
« on: Friday 25 March 05 13:37 GMT (UK) »
Desperate to find this book as it was written by my granddad (Douglas H Johnstone).

British library could not find it, but we have a receipt from a publisher paying granddad for the story.

The date of the receipt is unclear....but would most likely to have been between 1950-1970.

Any help would be very gratefully received

Unfortunately the publishing company no longer exists, nor did they deposit any of their paperwork in any archives institutions.

It may be possible that "The Howison Saga" is Incorporated in to another book of story's.  Unfortunately if the latter happened then I shall never find my grandfathers book.

One day a miracle may happen !!!
