Spies, Smugglers, Spook Train book.....

Post by Helenbee »

I really want to get a copy of Gary Russell's book.
Seems it's no longer published. I've looked on eBay, Amazon, but can't find it. Does anyone know where/how I can get a copy?

Thanks
Helen

I believe that this book was cancelled/postponed and has yet to be completed.

I have always wanted to get that book, too. But I suppose one will have to ask Gary Russell. 8)

Yes he does, he gets online every two days or so, you can contact him if you want. I think he is a very nice man.

I was hoping you'd say that. But not for me to say. Please (not just me) carry on as fast as you can.

Ah! Thank you for replying Gary. Like many on here I grew up watching FF on video as I'm an 80's kid! Even now im 32 it still holds fond memories of watching them countless times and wanting to join the FF!
Just ran from the new forest and made my trip seeing Smugglers top & Burley village.

Your book is very much in demand!!

Oh Yes, It would be a great honour reading a book by Gary Russell. :D Actually, I dreamt I had it with me. What a pity the dream is not true

I don't want to read Lord of the rings or doctor who, I'm not into them.
I meant his memoirs from his Famous Five days.
