    Default The Straight Razor Anthology - Anyone have a copy of the out-of-print manuscript

    The Straight Razor Anthology

    Does anyone have a copy of the out-of-print manuscript?

    I would very much like to borrow a copy and will pay for the privilege of the opportunity to do so.

    If anyone happens to know if there is a local library that has a copy, I can see if my hometown library can send an interlibrary loan request to borrow it.

    If someone has the full title, author, publisher and/or ISBN number, then I can look around on some of the rare/used book sites and see if I can locate a few copies (one of my other hobbies is collecting old books).

    A $150! I don't know about you guys, but that's a couple of razors...I'll keep my eye out. I'm always in and out of book stores around here. Never know what you'll find.

    Wow. That's a pricey book. The cheapest I could find is $120 from a dealer in Canada. The most expensive was $676 from a dealer in Oregon. Maybe we could convince Knife World to do a reprint.

    Are there many members who subscribe to Knife World?

    Who can we appeal to in order to request that they do a reprinting?

    There's probably a minimum print run that's required and it's probably in the thousands of copies. I don't know if anyone on SRP subscribes or not, but hopefully they'll post a contact address and we can write some letters and see.
