Subject: RE: Lyr Add: 'The Cobbler'
As for "a reasonable price", what would that be? One that nearly covered the costs of producing the book? Don't bother with dealers who charge a fake "antiquarian" mark-up, if that's what you've seen so far (I've seen a -signed- copy advertised at £150, which is certainly pure greed on somebody's part). I bought my copy from John Moulden ( Ulstersongs ), and it was very good value indeed. That was a few years ago, but he may possibly have some copies left, so I'd suggest you find out.

If you think John's price unreasonable (even if it's gone up a bit; he doesn't have time to update the website), you'd be an unforgiveable cheapskate by anybody's standards. At three times what I paid, it would still be an unmissable bargain.
