Jeremy - I tried to buy this from the Sheffield FHS and they sent me my money back as being out of print. The person sending me the parcel (I had ordered other books too) told me that the Local Studies section probably would have a copy and that I may be able to obtain a second hand copy from Amazon or a second hand book shop.

I have just checked the S&DFHS website and they are still showing it as available for sale at £4.40, if you click on the link below it will take you to the correct page, if you scroll down you will see the title. You can print an order form off the website and order it direct from the S&DFHS. If you decide not to order it from them, the ISBN No is: 0-9513824-0-3. http://www.sheffieldfhs.org.uk/Pub_con/Printed-Booklets.htm Best Wishes Jeremy Crawshaw Crookes SHEFFIELD ---------------------------------------------------- Outgoing Mail protected by: NORTON Internet Security 2004 Updated: 6th February 2005 ---------------------------------------------------- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jennifer Mason" <natphos@bio12.freeserve.co.uk> To: <ENG-SHEFFIELD-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, February 08, 2005 3:03 PM Subject: [SHEFF] Children's Care Homes > Hi > > Can anyone tell me where I can find out about Care Homes for children in > Sheffield around the 1920's?

Hilary, I have just checked on the following site, www.abebooks.co.uk and I did find a copy of the book listed for £4.50, there may be more but I didn't look any further. If you don't have any luck there I do have the name & address of a bookseller in Sheffield (that I go to often) who I know did have at least two copies of the book on my last visit in September last year. If you need this address please contact me off-list and I will forward it to you.
