I'm trying to find where i can buy a copy of Crossing the dead heart. Most book shops don't want to know about..
Anyone know of somewhere that sells it or a publisher i can chase up?
Many thanks in advance,
Dan

One of my favourite books....
You could try the EO
shop, or alternatively Westprint Maps, they seem to carry a large range of books. I can’t remember where I got
mine, but I think it was a special order through someone like Dymocks.

There are 3 editions. I bought the 2001 paperback 3rd edition at a local bookshop, but soon after found a 1946 1st edition hardcover at the second hand bookshop in Rundle Mall
Adelaide.
A search such as the one below will find you a 1st edition:

Hi Dan
You could give
John a call at Westprint, as that is where I brought
mine years ago. I have found one on ebay:

Cheers and happy reading as it is a great read.
Stephen

I came across this source for tracing copies of books. You send the details and they get back to you when they find a copy.
Finding books for sale
I cannot say how god they are, as i only tried them once when seeking an out of print book. They did get back to me with a copy, but meanwhile i had purchased an US version of the book through Amazon. The copy they found was much dearer.

Thank you all for your most awesome responses.
Fred, I rang Judith (once i swapped the last two digits of the phone number) and she was extremely helpful. Awaiting a return call.
Was hoping to find one local (as in Australia)
Apparently pioneer still have another two of the 70's print in stock.

sorry about the dyslexia.... lol
Dan,
I believe the (some or all????) 70's version does not have the fold out map. Not exactly sure about that though... as I am being told different things by different people... hence my preference of the 1948 version.

Hi Dan,
got
mine this morning as
well. Great service. Which version did you get?
I got the 1948 reprint with map at back. I am about halfway through reading it, and have also created a OziExplorer digital map from it if you want a copy.
