Where can I get Tom Shepard's book Vehicle Dependant Expeditions
 

Hello all,

This book appears to be the bible for planning an overland trip, and yet I cannot find it anywhere apart from on amazon 'New and Used' for a hundred pounds.

If this is the fair price can any one tell me is it worth that?

Thanks - enjoying all the advise I'm getting :)

I recently picked this up [1998 edition] at a college book sale here in Sharjah. I didn't know I was getting such a bargain. If you are going to Lumb Farm I'd be happy to bring it along so you can peruse it at your leisure over the 3 days and decide if it's worth the high price. I'm not looking to sell it though.

PS I've just noticed my copy cost 179 dirhams which is about 26 pounds. I'll see if it's still on sale here in the UAE.

Not going to Lumb Farm :(
 

Hi Stephan,

Thanks for the kind offer. I'm not going to Lumb farm, mainly because I don't know what it is! I've only been reading this forum for about a month or so, and so aren't up with the finer details .......

I might try my library ......

Thanks again

Ollie

Try Ebay

There is one copy on Ebay UK right now. Starting bid 35 pounds and no bidders so far. Bidding ends on 11th June. Good luck.

Thanks
 

Thanks Stephan - I'm there!

Its mine all mine!

Unless... :innocent:

I got mine from the Royal Geographical Society in London. they had them on the shelf (this was a few years back now though)

Just keep an eye on eBay , that's where I got mine for a bargain price .

Good luck

I have one which is propping up my computer monitor. If you have no luck then drop me a line.

I just looked on Amazon.... 2nd hand prices from £99!!!! Geez!!!!

Hi there. If this is the isbn number you are looking for, i suggest you try any bookshop who will be kind enough to order it for you. Mine cost £7.50!!!

ISBN 0-907649-15-7. Desert Expeditions by Tom Sheppard.

Or you may want to email the R.G.S. on eac@rgs.org

I hope this helps you,

Nick.

I'm afraid it's a different publication, Vehicle Dependant Expeditions instead of Desert Expeditions, which you can find downloadable on the internet as a .pdf file (86 pages).

Just did a eBlag search, and found one here for only £29.999 UKP + shipping.

Better than having an auto search :)
 

Why thank you Jim. I'm in the game again ....... :)

How long till someone out bids my £98 ........

Well since getting into the "Going on a long trip in a car" game a few months ago, I've gotta say its kept me busy ..........

Panic Over!
