You might try Olio in Hastings on 01424 423 437. I've just ordered a copy at GBP19.99. For second hand copies try Adebook.com but they start at around GBP25.

In return, perhaps we can talk about Hastings at the turn of the 18th/19th C. I'm a writer researching the plot for my new novel and need someone to bounce ideas off..

Thanks for coming back ,I have a copy now. I was very lucky, I bought a copy of the limited edition of 500 ,number 8, and this was sigend by J.manwaring Baines and was given to a Mrs Julia Parsons who was the wife of the Chairman and Chief Executive of the Publisher F.J.Parsons
I also have 2 other copies now which I will put on Ebay., 1963 and 1969.
Thanks again
john
