Riddle of the Sands has rarely been out of print. The Penguin paperback (ISBN 0 14 00.0905 1) has been continually available from new-book sellers since 1978. I have given several copies as gifts over the years and never had trouble getting it from the publisher or through book stores. The new (1998) hard-cover edition from Seafarer Books in the UK (UK ISBN 085036 476 0) and the US from Sheridan House (US ISBN 157409 015 1) has a larger, much easier to read format. The maps and charts are large enough to be quite legible. I have put aside my Penguin paperback and the maps I enlarged on a copier. This morning, Amazon.com offers the Penguin edition for $7.95 and the hard cover for $11.96. David Fann On Tuesday, December 25, 2001, at 10:52 PM, Larry Yake wrote:
Connie, Thanks for the tip on where to find "Riddle of the Sands". It was on my Christmas wish list, but Santa couldn't find it either, so I'm back on the hunt. Larry Y.
