Ah.  I passed along incorrect information.  This book is  available from 
Oxbow/David Brown, not Barnes and Noble.  
It truly is a book to have in your library.

Recently, Lady Fionnghuala the Fair ~ "Nuala" wrote to the Steppes  Baronial
list about being able to buy this book from the David Brown/Oxbow  book co.
I asked her permission to forward this information, so here it  is:


Xene,

This is the info on the book.  I had a real  difficult time obtaining the
copy as it is no longer in print but is now  classified as a "print on
demand" which apparently means that when enough  people are frothing at the
mouth for a copy, they print a run.  Per my  contact, these runs are done in
Great Britain and then shipped to  America.  It took me about six months to
get this book; however, since  it would appear that the printers have
actually done a run of the book, I  thought I would let everyone I could know
about it.  So, by all means,  you may forward this to the Laurel List.
Samantha at David Brown advised  that it was OK to post her e-mail address to
the various e-lists.   When I sent my initial posting to the local lists, I
did not have her  permission to do that which is why I requested people
contact me for her  information.

The cost  of the book was $38.50 including shipping and handling. Not too
bad, IMHO  as I could not locate a used/damaged copy for even $150.00. Also,
David  Brown is also having a clearance sale right now so you might want to
check  their web site for more goodies.   I have checked it and, believe  me,
they have some cool, cool stuff on sale.
