    2. I checked the Higginson Books website today to make sure. They have none of D'Autrechey's books. I spoke to someone personally at the HCHS (sometime ago) about this very issue , and they did not sound as though they were inclined to do a reprint of this book. Perhaps if everyone on the list would drop them a line and urge them to do a reprint, they might reconsider as they would see that there is a ready market. I think the costs of publishing are escalating, and a certain amount of books must ordered from the publisher upfront. Therefore they are afraid that they will find themselves with books that they can not sell and that they will lose money. Plus right now they have scant place to store piles of unsold books. Perhaps if we can convince them that the market is there, that will do the trick. Now, since Mrs. D'Autrechey has died, I suppose they would have to get the permission of her estate to reprint the book, but I wouldn't think that that would be a problem. Kay
