Wanted: Rails Through The Clay
Hello all -
I'm trying to get a copy of Rails Through The Clay by Croome & Jackson (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...93545-2550834), since it's by all accounts the definitive Tube book. However, I can't find a copy online for less than £75, which strikes me as a bit steep. Indeed, if demand is so strong that people are willing to pay £75 for it, it sounds like time for a 3rd edition... Anyone got any leads on how to get a copy (1993 edition ideally) for a more sensible price? Cheers, -- John Band astic - delete iastic to reply |

I put in a request on Amazon, and it expired with nothing matching. Maybe my price was too low. |

Unfortunately that is the 1960s edition, which may not be of much use to the OP. A fair point; I'll try reading the original message properly next time :-/....... |

Have a search on http://www.abebooks.co.uk/ There are two copies on there at present both from overseas sellers. (One copy in Denmark at £18.66 plus shipping and one in Chicago at £35.46 plus shipping) Shipping rates are usually reasonable. Also try searching http://ukbookworld.com/ One copy listed at present (£17.50 plus shipping). Wivens -- E.D. Wivens http://www.katzphur.co.uk/ Putting the fun back into fundamentally flawed. |

Two editions of Rails Through the Clay plus Atkinson's Telephony vols. I and II should pay for a few months in a nursing home. Seriously, I can't remember where I got my second edition (new). I suspect it was a Christmas or birthday present. -- Jock Mackirdy Bedford |
