Yes, it's not a problem to order a book from UK&USA, but I've looked at Amazon/Barnes&Nobles and this book seems to be deleted everywhere, so I took the last option to ask Orcadians.. But as I've heard that now it's being printed again, I'd rather give up these searches ;)) Andrei

Back in April a copy of the 1929 first edition went for £70 at the Orkney Auction Mart sale of Orkney books, while at the Graemeshall sale one went for £120. Not cheap! See "Sales Dates" here: http://www.orkneymart.co.uk/enter.html However, Andrei, it would be fair to point out that if you're going to wait for the reprint, Brinnoven can be slow to publish, though their books are well-produced and attractive. Don't assume that they will actually produce the book in August/September; it could be very much later. They sell through eBay UK but no doubt also through other outlets such as "The Orcadian" bookshop as well: http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Brinnoven Norman Tulloch

I was just checking the archives, and it was in March 2004 that I was looking for a copy of the Norn also. At that time, Brinnoven was supposed to have published in 2003, but was behind schedule. I tried emailing them several times and never did get a reply. I did eventually find a copy on Abebooks by signing up on their link of books that are out of stock but in demand. Be prepared to wait! Good luck. Dan "However, Andrei, it would be fair to point out that if you're going to wait for the reprint, Brinnoven can be slow to publish, though their books are well-produced and attractive.
