Anyone selling a copy of Phil Thompson's book 'Waiting for Waddle'???

Please let me know, any condition will do! If not, does anyone know where I can get it - or how I can contact Phil Thompson himself, surely he'd be able to get hold of a copy. It's like getting hold of gold dust mixed with rocking horse ****!!!

Cheers

Anyone know how many were published and the original asking price?? ISBN?? Any more info would be much appreciated!

Somebody must have a copy sat collecting dust somewhere??!!!

Worth a try perhaps. They do have a good range of old books.
I have used them once before and the service was good.

Hope it helps,

Miller.

Luke,

I have just looked in my copy and there is no ISBN, Publisher, Place of Publication or price of the book - I guess that he must have published the book himself. I'm not sure how many copies were printed but I'm sure it wasn't enough as I spent ages trying to find this book!

Good luck (you'll need it /images/forum/icons/smile.gif)

Ian,

I tried sending you a private message, but I don't think it worked. Please could you send me a private message with Phil Thompson's address. It will be much appreciated.

Many thanks

Luke,
I ended up paying Â£40 for my copy - I think that was a good price considering how rare they seem to be.
