Hi,

I'm looking to purchase a book entitled, "Murder at the Maharajah's dinner
party" by Suzanne Kayser. I understand that it is out of print. I really
don't want to go to Amazon or Barnes and Noble. If you know of a copy
available, please let me know.

Thanks,

Helen

If you go to Amazon.co.uk - they do list one
British book dealer with a used copy for 2.45
pounds. I'd snap it up if you want it...

Here is a link to the publisher... http://www.vantagepress.com/ They
might be able to help. It looks like is a author subsidized publishing
company so there probably weren't a large number of copies made.
