RE: [Paddlewise] Blazing paddles

Bob,

Most book stores can get it for you, keeping in mind that organizations such
as amazon.com and Barnes and Noble are geared towards high volume, low
margin sales, they can't make any money carrying books such as this - it
would be like going to your local WalMart or Target and expecting to find a
good selection of specialty kayak gear. I would recommend picking up your
local Houston yellow pages and calling one of the stores listed under books,
they'll probably be able to get it for you in 2-5 days at or below it's
suggested retail price.

Good Luck - Saul

Just checked Amazon.com and it isn't listed. Really would like to get a
copy, Colin. Any Aberdeen book shops on the internet? Does any one else
have an idea for a source.

Thanks,
