Looking for a copy of; "The Barque 'John' - a voyage to the Land of Hope,Gravesend to Adelaide 1839/40" Transcribed by Jean Martin (desceased) of 13,Bindaga Street. Aranda ACT,1994. $1950 from the author. No IBSN number shown. Joe

Joe, you don't say where you are -- that would enable potential helpers to be more specific. Also, please note that the author is Jean Main, not Martin. And do you really mean $1950? or is it $19.50? The Libraries Australia web site says there are copies in 8 Australian libraries -- see http://librariesaustralia.nla.gov.au/apps/kss?action=Search&mode=display&queryid=2&asyncsupported=true to check whether any of them are close to you. That also gives you the ISBN. I checked the catalogue at HAGSOC (Heraldry & Genealogy Society of Canberra), but it's not held there. And I also checked some of the online book suppliers, but couldn't find a copy anywhere.
