You could try your local library, and see if they can interlibrary loan it (could be difficult when there are only 3 copies listed on OCLC in the US - for 2 libraries in Alaska, and one at Harvard). Here's some info to help you find it... Blazing Paddles: A Scottish Coastal Odyssey 1988, reprinted 1998 ISBN 0953276805 (International Standard Book Number - It can be used by your local book store to order the book!) OR Blazing Paddles: Around Scotland by Kayak 1988 ISBN 0946609594 (this one might be out of print, but it was the one with 3 U.S. holdings according to OCLC, a library database, so it could be loaned to your local library) I'm not sure if they are the same book with different sub-titles or not. Both are by Brian Wilson. Good Luck! Juls :) At 08:07 AM 8/4/99 -0500, you wrote: >Just checked Amazon.com and it isn't listed. Really would like to get a >copy, Colin.
