Hi Listers, I had an off-list e-mail from a Glam Lister asking about obtaining a copy of Merthyr Boat Boy. I suggested that she should try Merthyr Tydfil Library or try to get it on inter library loan. Since then, I did a search for it in Merthyr Libraries using the following search page: http://talisweb.libraries.merthyr.gov.uk/TalisPrism/index.jsp I found there were reference copies and copies for loan. Then I contacted Merthyr Library to find out if they sell copies of the book. I had a very prompt reply from Jane Sellwood Customer Services Librarian Merthyr Tydfil Public Libraries High Street Merthyr Tydfil CF47 8AF Central.Library@merthyr.gov.uk It turns out that they do sell copies, at a reasonable price plus postage, and will send them by post on receipt of a cheque. You can contact the library to find out the cost or I can let you know privately. If you live locally you can arrange to pick up and pay for the book at any borough library or mobile library van.
