Well I got a copy on microfilm on interlibrary loan. I'm in Burlington Ontario, but I think I got the film from either the Uni of Calgary or the Uni of Edmonton. I know various copies of the film are available in England - it's a pity that the late Paul Newman's site is no longer available - he had the places listed - There might be a copy in Birmingham, I just can't remember - Bristol Theatre University has a copy and of course the weekly Era is available at Colindale, but I doubt the annual would be there. Hope this helps.

If you log into my local library's on-line catalogue you can find 35 editions with ISBN numbers listed. Only one of these is available on loan, the rest are for reference. http://www.library.bromley.gov.uk/ click on "Login to GeoWeb" and then type in "Who's who in the theatre" It's a useful URL to keep if your own library doesn't have a web site.
