I'm listening ;-) It is obviously a book which is out of print but still in copyright. Given the necessary permissions, then I could do it if enough people were interested.

It was suggested that I contact Michael Moon, Bookseller in Whitehaven. I did and got a rather strange response -- in summary, there is a demand for the book (however small) but the solicitors have withdrawn it from sale. Mr. Moon states: The book is complelely unavavailable. The Solicitor who handled the late authors affairs will not even reply to our letters or phone calls. We would have made an offer for all ( upto a thousand copies) existing unsold stock, and I presume he knows where the stock is, if there still is any? I have tried several times and given up..which is not I would suspect what the author wanted in the first place. Because it was self published, the author gave very little trade discount ane then added carriage costs which made it an uneconomic book to stock. Sad but there you have it. I have seen one copy since the author died which we sold for £25.00. Cordially, Michael Moon _____________________ Tim Anderson Gaithersburg, Maryland ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rod Neep" <rod@neep.demon.co.uk> To: <ENG-CUL-COPELAND-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, November 24, 2002 8:22 PM Subject: Re: [CUL-COP] "Cumbria, Slavery, and the Textile Industrial Revolution," A.
