    The Australian library system has a copy. I borrowed it, special order from the other side of the country, ** but it came with conditions!**. It was for only 28 days and cannot leave the library. Yep, I had to sit in the library to read it.. sheesh is right!
    I only got through first 40 pages or so, and the 28 days were up and it was gone, as I couldnt find enough time to be down there  :(
    According to the Junk Rig Library page on this site, the Association has a copy of Erik the Red, contact the Hon Sec to arrange a loan.  Yes / no?

    Do you mind "used"? I'll have it shipped to you if it's the one you're looking for. You can contact me @yahoo for my address. When we're both done, we can re-exchange. How's that sound?

    I wish I had known that before I ordered it from TheCoastalPassage. Caveat emptor. 

    Count your blessings, Maxime. I just got this reply from CoastalPassage:

    Hi Alan

    Your payment has been refunded.

    The paypal notice was responded to earlier, from a machine that didn't
    display your address. Obviously we aren't going to ship a book to the US
    for what was clearly stated was the domestic price. In fact we are no
    longer shipping this particular book at all. It is to be discontinued
    today.

    cheers

    TCP

    And the link at CoastalPassage says...

    Discontinued!

    TCP has been supplying this book at our cost and frankly, no longer have the time or patience. We got no lower price than anyone can get from Kris personally but we have to charge GST which Kris doesn't and we include that and mailing in our price which Kris doesn't. We also accept paypal and credit cards which charge fees against us and Kris doesn't accept that kind of thing. We thought that people would understand these things but..... we got tired of being critisised for doing the community a service.

    Unless you live in Australia, Kris doesn't send out books himself... from the email addy at monsoondervish.com.

    I sent an email Thursday and got this reply this morning:

    Hi there, thanks for the note. The only way to send the book to the States is contact The Coastal Passage, an on-line yachting magazine in Queensland, they are my overseas distributors.

    www.thecoastalpassage.com

    Personally I do not ship to USA, security requirements for a book in mail are a nightmare, and extra $10 in postage, also payment to forward to Australia is complicated. Bob from "the coastal passage" can help you there.

    Thanks,

    Kris.
