Jason No joy at WHSmiths

So If anyone has a copy that they would be willing to sell, or alternatively loan me to make photocopies from that would be great. I would pay a rental fee to get a photocopy.

Again, the title is FSC guide to Britsh Freshwater Beetles pub no 189 by Laurrie Friday

All help welcomed

Cheers

Cheers Jason,
Its been out of print for some time so 2nd hand copies are my only chance. I will pay decent money or as mentioned would pay for a rental to do a photocopy version.

Keep you ears to the ground and il keep my fingers crossed

It is possible to find secondhand copies of this key advertised online (no guarantee that they aren't actually already sold though). I have tried to PM you with details but have no idea if the messages actually got through - my sent messages box is still apparently empty.

Let me know if you haven't received the messages (I tried twice), and I'll try again!

Fridays' key has been out of print for some time now, a revision is in the works at present. Are you particualrly stuck on a certain specimen, or do you need the "whole book" - if its just a single specimen perhaps I can help with the ID.

Hi Matt,

I have managed in the past but I do need the whole key ideally. I contcated FSC last year and was told a revision is due out but the release date was yet to be confrimed, thought to be 2011.

Thanks for the kind offer but im hoping to aquire a copy at some point.
