There are two terrific out-of-print places on the internet -- Bibliofind.com,
and Abebooks.com/uk. Bibliofind has mostly American dealers, but if you ship
the books by surface post, it doesn't cost very much to get them here.
Abebooks has more UK dealers, but the books are more expensive here -- it's a
trade-off. I checked Abebooks on Something of Myself, and there are copies
for sale in the US for as little as $5 (about £3.50). The cheapest UK one I
could see was £20. If you're not in a hurry, you could get a US SoM for less
than £10, shipping included.
Macmillan, RK's publishers, have also instituted a policy of reprinting one
copy of any academic book anyone wants. I don't know what it costs (although
I imagine it's not a massive sum), and I don't know if they're doing it for
non-academic books, but it might be worth a try, particularly if more than
one mailbase users wants a copy.
Good hunting!

Does anyone know if there are any plans to reprint Something of Myself? I
am informed that there is no edition at all currently in print, at least in
the UK.
