Needing a little bit of help....
« 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

Only saw a VERY costly one in USA or two second hand ones from UK and much cheaper

Always have been, always will be, a WYSIWYG - black is black, white is white - no grey in my life! But I'm mellowing in my old age

I hope you managed to find the book in the end, but I thought you (and others) might find this useful for future reference... 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
