Hello Tony there are a number of references to this book on Google - but none seem to say where you might find a copy. You might also want to try Kinship at the Core: An Anthropology of Elmdon, a Village in North-West Essex by Marilyn Strathern and Audrey Richards Hardcover, Cambridge University Press, ISBN 0521233607 (0-521-23360-7) As both books have an ISBN you might try the British Library Dick Andy Hedgcock wrote: > Hi Tony > > I tried bookfinder.com which searches through booksellers but even that couldn't find a current copy for sale. 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.

"Some Elmdon Families" is available from Essex Libraries. I borrowed it myself recently.The catalogue suggests there are three copies at Saffron Walden. Should therefore be available for interloan in another county. Sue
