Our leather literary group is wanting to read a particular book for discussion. The problem is it went out of print a long time ago. Finding copies has been an ordeal. We find them but they are $130-$150..Can anyone help us get a few copies of this book..Some Women by Laura Antoniou. The head of the group has written Laura and has not heard from her as yet. I have searched every book site I can find. I found 2 but when I put my order in, a few hours later, I get a cancelled email. They didn't have it even though they listed it.

Help please!

Respectfully,
sultry

I think Some Women was published by Masquerade Books, the same publisher that initially published The Loving Dominant. That would mean that it was out of print for almost a decade or so.

I doubt that Laura can help much. There wasn't much warning that Masquerade was going out of business so its authors didn't have much time to stock up. I was lucky in that Loving Dominant was picked up by Greenery as soon as I got the contractual issues with Masquerade out of the way, but for example, I only have five copies of my book Torquemada Killer left. It takes a LOT more than an enthusiastic blow job to get one of those [laugh]

I don't know how Laura feels about it, but when my local book discussion group wanted to read Torquemada Killer, I made a file with the text available so they could download it. Of course, I know and trust these people. I could understand that Laura might not be willing to do this sort of thing for strangers.

The woman who started this up here has written Laura and to date, no answer. She has also been contacting the women who wrote the essays in the book and is getting a few answers. I understand what you are saying about the publisher gong out of business and no time to get things done. I was just hoping for other avenues to get this and not pay over $100.00 per copy..That is rediculous (sp)..for a paperback, no less, without an autograph! Oh, well, that is supply and demand!

Thank you John for your comments..

Respectfully,
sultry

I still want to meet you and Libby!

hope that link works
Thank you for bringing up the book I never heard of it and the other books she wrote.

I have looked through 8 different book searches that go all over the world and still it's prices like I previously said..

Again, thank you for looking..

Respectfully,
sultry

Some Women by Laura Antoniou


Here is a page that will explain it all...
http://www.iron-rose.com/marketplace/whybooks.htm

$78.00 for a collector's item is not all that bad. Look at the hundreds of thousands of dollars that people pay for baseball cards that came free when you purchased a nickle piece of gum that was so hard you chipped a tooth when attempting to chew it.

Its showing as not currently in stock, but may be worth a shot and somewhat cheaper than the prices you have found so far.

Good luck!

On the blog section of Myspace you can do a search and show what music or book you are enjoying, so I found The Loving Domminant, and it is displayed and it is a link that can be clicked on if someone wants to buy it. I made some wacky blog entries that I was going to delete because they were so goofy and I got a few messages from people that enjoyed them. If I try to get wacky on this site I am not taken serious and the peanut gallery attacks me lol. I will give other books of yours a plug on future blog entries. Here is the Myspace Link then you click onto the Blog section.         http://www.myspace.com/90652966

I'm one of the authors in that book.

Have your group leader contact me and I can send her a copy of my essay if she wants.

Sigh I really miss working there lol.
