    I thought that this book had been reprinted (or maybe was about to be)???? I am sure someone will know

    Good luck with your search (have you put an ad in wanted - I got a copy of 'The Encyclopedia . . from there) I know it took me ages to find a copy and I had to pay.

    Book

    I've just done a search for the book and WH Smith are advertising it. Whether they have any may be another matter. Using the AbeBooks website there are none available anywhere.
    Life is to be enjoyed, not endured.

    Smiths dont have it...you go through all the order and payment stuff on their webpage but then they send you an email later to say in is unavailable/out of print

    I wanted this for some time and had heard it was to be reprinted - doesn't seem to have happened though.

    In the end I put in a request to Amazon for a second hand copy if one came up. After three weeks I got one - printed 2001 - it is in immaculate condition and cost me £40 (£5 over the new price) and worth every penny.

    Register your interest with Amazon and be patient - good luck.

    It was reprinted, with, I believe, approximately 500 copies produced, but now appears to have sold out.
    The original print run was approximately 800.
    It's no wonder that John Griffith's Encyclopedia sold out so quickly with a print run of only 300.
    A book search site such as Abe Books, Amazon or W.H.Smith would now seem the best bet.

    That's a laugh - it's had 'Availability - 1-2 weeks' up there for at least 6 months I know about....

    W.H.Smith are definitely out of stock, with no more expected.

    Ironically that makes that book the rarest item in my air pistol collection...
    Morally flawed
