Hi Julia,

Book importation and distribution is not an area I'm familiar with I'm afraid. However, Dick Greenhaus of Camsco (mentioned above) did a wonderful deal a few years ago, which enabled British based ballad buffs to buy Bronson's Traditional Tunes of the Child Ballads from an importer (I think) at a very affordable price. I can't remember the details, but I do remember the shock of realising I could actually afford a set of Bronson without having to auction off the family silver.

If you're in touch with Alison, do give her my regards. And while I think on, her book on the Stewarts of Fetterangus, Up Yon Wide and Lonely Glen, is listed on Amazon as due for publication on July 1st.
