Locate a Book

I’m trying to locate, “Black Americana Souvenir Spoons”, by Robert M Wilhelm.

 

https://www.amazon.com/Americana-Souvenir-Spoons-Robert-Wilhelm/dp/1930796145 there's a copy up on amazon right now.

 

hi verona (love your name)

there also seems to be a cheaper option here

I don't think that's the same book as the OP wants.

 

Pricey! Not sure if you want to own or consult but alternatives to the Amazon copy would be 1) contacting the publisher (https://www.campanian.org) to see if they have/know of copies available and/or 2) checking with you local library to see if they have a copy in their collection or can obtain a copy for you through a statewide inter-library loan program.

Off the internet, Verona, but if this is current... Looks like the author is involved with American Spoon Collectors. He may well have unsold copies. Worth asking.

Sounds like good suggestions. I'd also suggest reaching out to the author. Sometimes authors have to purchase hundreds of copies themselves per their contract and may have copies available in storage due to this. I know an older gentleman in my area that has a book on antique currency in which he is a expert of some note -- he often comes to our local coin show with a few copies of his out of print book to offer to the dealers for sale and to sign copies that collectors bring in. He says he can call his publisher and have them print some more copies of his book if he ever runs out of his backlog.
