If so, I think I had actually ordered that into the local store, but found a better price elsewhere, so they shelved it, and you happened through a few weeks later. | ||

Joined: March 2005 Posts: 12750 Location: Boise, Idaho | Yep. Probably 3 years ago when I was killing time waiting for the girls to pick out wedding dresses or something for a niece. I had them check to see if they had any more copies, but they didn't. I was lucky I didn't just reshelve it, since I practically read the whole book while I was waiting. | ||

National Music (wholesalers) have it and will deliver it to your local music store in Australia. Oh, sorry, you don't have a "local" store that is in Australia? If you're very nice to us Aussies, one of us might go in and order it for you, for way less than $400. | ||
