Hello out there,

Recently I picked up three 'new' books at a second hand store. Being part of a fantasy series it was kind of annoying to find that they didn't have the second installment. By now I have finished the first part and would really like to find out how the tale continues.

Since it isn't a very recent publication (part 3 was copyrighted in '84), chances of finding part two over here are rather slim. Therefor I would like to ask any of you if would be so kind as to look out for it if you ever happen to be in a bookstore. Iffen one of you does find it, all shipping costs will of course be paid by me.

The book in question is Spellsinger book II: The Hour of the Gate by Alan Dean Foster.
Please note that I'm not really looking for a brand new edition, but I'm willing to accept any reasonably priced offer.

Have a good one!

Lots of copies available at Amazon:

linky

If you have issues shipping overseas, I'd be glad to relay it for you.

Thank you for the tip. At present I don't have any way to actually pay for anything that I might want to buy at Amazon. But I'll look into it.

Just found a dutch website that specialises in SciFi and Fantasy books, where I could easily place an order. If all goes well, I should have the book in three days.

abebooks.com and alibris.com often have very cheap stuff.

I have a copy, but I've only got one. Sorry. [Frown]

No need to apologise, I can understand you not wanting to part with such a piece of art. It is not often I stumble upon a fantasy book that's dedicated to Jimi Hendrix and has the main character smoking pot. It's a rare combination, don't you think so? [Smile]

BTW, I just ordered the 2nd, 5th and 6th installments in the series. They cost me 11 euro's (without shipping that is, but this way they won't have to cross the Atlantic).
I guess I should have searched the web a bit longer before yelping that I couldn't find it.
