Where's Mr Breeze when you need him................
However, I was only talking to Bill about SMOTS last Saturday.
Mark 2: for a lot of reasons IMHO there will never be...the task is herculean.
As for a reprint: SMOTS effectively finishes in 1981 (there are some results but no text for 82 & 83). It is 582 pages. The number of people prepared to buy a book almost thirty years old is limited and ostensibly 1800 homes already have it. Where is the benefit to a publisher? Bill knows how much copies go for now but he really isn't interested.
If anyone really wants a copy you can always buy one second hand but it is a supply/demand market. Several people have paid £130 and if you want it enough it is worth it. (How much can you spend on a night out which is ephemeral?) And a copy is probably a good investment.
It is interesting to reflect where the 1800 copies actually are because a lot must have been discarded over the years by exasperated fell-widows.
But if you want another copy Morgan, I can find you one! But it will not be cheap.
