I am looking for a copy of Pat Smith's book about how to make Mediterranean area terrain for wargame tables. I posted a WTB message in the Market Place forum, but because nobody looks at those pages (my post there was the first ever posting on that Market Place board) I am hoping that Bill will let me post my request here as well.

The book is out of print and i owned it once, but I can't find it in my vast Raiders of the Lost Ark style warehouse that I call my game basement. So I am really desperate to find another copy to purchase.

Have you searched the usual suspects: Amazon, charity sellers, e-Bay? If you know the ISBN, you might get more hits. Cheers!

I have searched Abe Books and Amazon and eBay to no avail. The publisher was Karawansaray Publishers but they did not assign an ISBN to the book – I am assuming it was self-published.

So I guess it comes down to finding someone who has the book and is willing to sell it to me. I will "pay up" for a copy.

Looks like they have stacks of them, Jim.

Tom, that's an old blog post and the updates going back to 2021 indicate that the book is sold out and they need at least 100 pre-orders to get it back into production.

Thank you anyway for helping with the search. it is appreciated.

A fellow TMPer made a generous offer to give me his copy of the book. It is much appreciated and I thank everyone on and off-line of this thread for the detective work that you did on my behalf.

cheers,

Jim
