Hi Neer

I've had a quick look & I can't find this book at any source I'm allowed to use, including World cat. You will need to take a photo or scan of the cover for me to be able to add this one.

(see the third entry)

I have returned the book to the library and don't know whether/ when I shall be able to borrow it again.

Thanks

No sorry, it is all a question of copyright.

Here is a list of acceptable sources.

If I make against policy edits I could lose my librarian status - & there are very few active librarians from my country.

No, no, plz there is no question of you doing anything against the policy. I shall see whether I can borrow it once again from the library and upload the pics the way you asked me to do.

Thanks for understanding. Goodreads can & does remove librarian status from librarians. :)
