Biblio.com has an option for you to register your interest in a book and if it is added to stock they will contact you. Waterstones used to do this - whether they still do, I don't know. Otherwise you could put a Want it Now on Ebay. If you didn't already know, it was privately printed in 1975 so obviously had a small print run.

Sorry don't know where you can buy it, but it is certainly available for loan from Saffron Walden Town Library. Elmdon was the subject of a special academic study and this book is the result, it makes it probably one of the most carefully studied villages, from a genealogical point of view, in Essex and well worth reading if you have an interest in any rural parish. There is a second book as well, I think. See our website for some nice pictures and a historical walk round the Elmdon countryside.

Hi all, I regret to say that I have had to stay mum throughout several really interesting threads recently. Seeing my location, however, I could not resist responding to this one. Anyone who belongs to a branch of the (UK) Essex County Library can use their ELAN (Essex Libraries Automated Network) number to search its catalogue for books in stock and their availability. A search by ISBN 0950423203 alone, reveals that the library system holds at least 8 copies of "Some Elmdon Families" all except one shelved at E.ELM.1: Chelmsford: Local Studies library - 1 "Not available for loan" (i.e.for reading in the library) Chelmsford, Goldlay Gardens branch: 1 Lending (not on loan) Colchester: Local studies library 1 "Not available for loan" + Lending library 1 (not on loan) Grays: Reference library 1 "Not available for loan" Saffron Walden: Lending library 2 (not on loan) + Stack 1 "Not available for loan" (shelved in the CELLAR!) All of the 4 lending copies appear to be currently in their libraries and obtainable through the interloan system.
