Anyone have a copy they are prepared to sell?
FSS,
I've got a copy you can borrow if you only want to read it, rather than own it.
Cheers, Ali
one for sale (for a hefty £50!) at
www.amazon.co.uk/shops/jedadiah-books
I would prefer to have a copy of my own, thanks.Quote:

I thought it was still available, could of sworn i saw a copy the other day. Must investigate.
Alf, can you pick me up 30 copies :D
:o A friend of mine lent me a copy in 2001; we've lost contact since and I've still got his/the/my book. Guess after all these year's he doesn't really want it back now...;)Quote:

Honestly if i see it sold i'll buy them up and resell on here. It's such a good book that i feel it should be available for all aspiring fell runners and juniors for inspiration. Incidentally , are Mike Cudahy's sons running still?
Yes, both Ged and Mark can be spotted training on the hills around Buxton and taking part in races whilst youngest son, Mike jnr. has the Pentland hills as his training ground.Quote:

Its even in short supply in Libraries - seems to be one copy in the whole of Cumbria Libraries (held at Ambleside). Theres a SMOTS in Penrith but they seem to keep losing track of it.
Copy sold for £65.00 on ebay.Quote:

Is there a general consensus on the forums as to what constitutes a fair price for selling from one runner to another, rather than a profiteering bookseller making a sale to a collector who's never going to read what i believe is a cracking book?
I have two copies. one of which is in perfect nick (as new) and i'm keeping.
The other was sold to me 'as new', but it isn't in my opinion.
There is a small name written in blue ink in the top right of the first blank inner leaf.
No foxing, no bending, folds or marks on the pages.
So apart from the inscription the book itself is 'as new'.
The dustjacket is what dropped the entire package down from the 'as new' description i was sold the book under.
the jacket would in my honest opinion be described as 'good'.
that is - bumping to the top and the bottom, slight tears (up to 8mm on the corners and one 15mm tear on the rear corner of the dust jacket.
i can supply photos if anyone is serious about buying.
as i mentioned, i didn't buy the book to make a profit. i bought it for my collection then found another one at a reasonable price that was A1 condition.
would rather it be read than sit on my shelf.
i've been hanging around the forums on and off for a few years, but you'll notice my new registration today.
any doubts about my integrity and i should be able to dig up a couple of runners that post here and who also post on UKC climbing forum and could 'vouch' for me.
oh yes. if one of those runners / climbers i know approaches me first with a reasonable offer then they get first dibs.
My copy hasn't got it's dustjacket and an ex bought it for me and wrote inside. I would never sell it , the book is too good to sell.
I have a copy i might sell
There is another copy of Ebay.
This is not a rare book and copies turn up fairly regularly in second hand bookshops.
Mike Cudahy's other books are more difficult to obtain:-
From Kinder Scout To Kathmandu. A Rucksack Cub Anthology. 1907-1986.Neither book has any fell running content.
Fully Fit Through Walking. Walk Your Way To Health And Fitness. 1988.
Kinder Scout to Kathmandu is available from the Rucksack Club website.
Looks like it's going to be republished!

Fell ponies are a familiar sight, roaming about the hills and moors in remote areas,... but how much do you know about these tough, hardy, compact little animals?
A second-hand bookshop in Uppingham had a copy of Wild Trails to Far Horizons for £5.00.:)Quote:

Perhaps if we ask them nicely they'll talk nicely to Bill Smith and republish SMOTS as well? Publishers must be catching on to the size of the market after Feet in the Clouds and perhaps a new Wild Trails is a sign of this.
£14 inc p&p on Amazon, pre-order. Published 31st October.
