Title: Needing a little bit of help....
Post by: CameronS on September 21, 2013, 05:30:16 pm: My gran has been searching for this book for some time now, and i was wondering if anyone has heard of it or can suggest where i may be able to get a copy from within the uk - tried Amazon - but could only get from New Zealand, and i'm not sure i can be bothered with the hastle of importing a book!

The book i'm searching of is "A Million and More Strides)Written by E Hector Kyme.

This story documents the events of a retired mans' walk from cape wrath to Devon. My gran is keen to obtain a copy as one of the stories used in it came from her brother.

any help in finding a copy would be much appreciated! and will make my Christmas shopping a lot easier

Book Butler will search and compare all listings for any book, saving you the problem/hassle of trawling across the web. I've used it a few times over the years and they do have several (UK) copies of the book you wanted listed
