Help! Book currently out of print - The Biscuit Bear by Mini Grey

17 replies

Washersaurus · 30/03/2008 13:40

We promised DS1 we would buy this book for him this weekend as we have borrowed it from the library around 10 times - he likes it so much.

Typically, we went to bookstore to discover it is currently being reprinted/reissued and as a result I can't find a copy anywhere.

Does anyone have one they would be willing to sell me? I have paypal funds...

They've got it secondhand on Amazon for 2.50, or if you prefer £106.95 :

Hi
I can't help in the short term I'm afraid but I can tell you that it the book and CD is coming out at the beginning of July. There is 25% off if you click here.
Hope that helps. x

Thanks all, I did spot the £106 version on amazon earlier (rare copy my arse! )

I was hoping to be able to utilise some paypal funds that we have, but if Amazon is the only place that currently have copies for sale, then Amazon it will have to be!

Hi Washersuarus,

I've got one you can have for a couple of quid plus postage , which won't be much ,it's paperback.

Email me at lindahomework at btinternet dot com if you are interested.

Can't actually help but I read the review of Adventures of Dish and Spoon in the Grauniad a few months back an worked out, with great glee, that Mini Grey is someone who I lived next door to for a while 20 years ago. (So if you MN, Mini, hello! ONe of the Waterloo Terrace Coven here...)

Washersaurus · 03/04/2008 09:54

DS1 also loves the Dish and the Spoon story too - we did manage to get a copy of that one.

Washersaurus, we have it and it is a great favourite here. There are 2 good bookshops near us which often have oddities like this (we bought it in one!) - shall I look for you tom or monday?

Washersaurus · 05/04/2008 20:35

Oh CM, that is very kind of you, it would be great if you could have a look for me, if you have time! I had better wait to see if wohmum replies before I send you on a mission to look for it though, as she had a copy that she was going to post to me.

Hi wohmum, the book arrived today. Thank you soooo much, DS1 was very happy indeed to have his own copy of his favourite story .

I can't get into my email at the moment (for some technical reason) so don't know if you have emailed me to say how much I owe you, but I will send you paypal payment as soon as I know how much to send.

Washersaurus · 08/04/2008 19:57

Have sent paypal payment to you. Thank you again - DS1 is so very happy
