 Worm Farm management book availability - 2008/08/15 17:05 Hi All,

I'm trying to find the book "Worm Farm Management" by Eric Wilson. I only found 1 reseller and the publisher here in Australia. I believe the original version was 1999, but there seems to be an updated version from 2005.

The reseller says they can't get it, and all contact details from the publisher's web site bounce. I can't find it on Amazon, even using the ISBN.

Does anyone know how I might be able to obtain this book, either new or second hand?

Thanks. Russell.

 Re:Worm Farm management book availability - 2008/08/18 01:08 Redhen,

Yes I have read that. A good overview, but not enough for my needs.

Wellsworms,

Thanks for the link, although it didn't work when I clicked on it. A direct search at that store though, shows it is unavailable for new, and tehre are two used copies that people are trying to sell for $80 each!!

There are quite a few stores that bring it up under a search engine search, but when you look at the details, it either says unavailable, or even if it says available, when you contact them, they have no stock.

I guess I was hoping someone in Australia, or close to me, may have had a 2nd hand copy they didn't want any more.

I guess I just keep contacting distributors until I find one that has some in stock, at less than extortionist rates, or I'll just forget it

I wish I could contact the author direct, but can't find any email or snailmail for him either.

Russell.

 Re:Worm Farm management book availability - 2008/08/19 22:41 Thanks for the info Doug.

I've managed to find store in New Zealand that says they have it, and cheaper than it's listed in Aus!!

If that doesn't pan out, I'll checkout your suggestion.

Thanks all.
Russell.
