    I may have mentioned this in the past but I have a copy that I bought some time ago. It cost me a tidy sum; knowing it is as rare as rocking horse shit I looked upon it as an investment as well as wishing to own a copy.

    Good Grief!

    I had a quick look for Red Sailor a few minutes ago on E-bay.

    Someone in Dorset has a hardback copy on sale.

    For £250!!!

    £2.50 is abit of a rip off. Brand new it was only 5 bob. Shouldn't be worth more than 2&6 now. Finks paid a tidy sum, being Scots it probably cost him in excess of 10 bob

    Not sure how much good this will do, but if you go to Amazon and look for a copy of the book, it allows you to express a desire to read this book on Kindle, if enough people click the link then Amazon might just chase up the publishers (HarperCollins now own the rights I believe)

    The Red Sailor: Amazon.co.uk: Patrick O'Hara: Books
