Can anyone help?

 About 10 yrs ago I read Matthew Stokoe's Cows. It's an awesome book & I really want to buy a copy & read it again.
The trouble is that it is out of print & the only copies I have found for sale are either £130 new or £25 second hand. A new copy is out of the question as I can't justify £130 on a book & £25 is a lot to pay for a dogeared second hand copy.
Does anyone know any decent online secondhand booksellers or any other way I can get a copy?

does your public library do inter-library loan?
(the u.k. is civilized in these ways?)

local college/high school/university library?

"Empty Mile, my third novel, will be published by Akashic books mid 2010. And, for all you Cows fans, Cows will be published by Akashic as a limited edition at the end of 2010 and as a normal paperback in the first half of 2011. Now you don't have to buy the rip-off Creation Books edition."

Sounds like quite a graphic book.

Really? Wow. Your library sucks. So no libraries in your entire county have a copy? Cos they can do out-of-county loans. Worse comes to worst, they should be able to ask right up to the British library for a copy.

Thank you!

Allthough I now feel like an idiot for not checking his myspace. It IS a very, very graphic book. Certainly not for everyone. Cannibalism, infanticide & cow sex are the tip of the iceberg. It makes Brett Easton Ellis' American Psycho pale in imagery & is the kind of book Chuck Palahniuk could write if he could really be bothered. It shares a certain narrative style with Palahniuk's Haunted (particularly the "swimming pool masturbation story" at the beginning)

Went online on the central library site, no copies anywhere!

The British library has two copies. C'mon, this is what the library service is FOR!

Well. Yeah. Public money being spent on a public service - on what level is that not ok?

So get your local library to borrow it from whichever library has it, then... um...
