Thank You!

Thank you so very much to everyone who has tried to help me out with my problem in locating a copy of the book "Once Were Warriors". I really do appreciate the efforts that have been made to help me out, and I will make sure my nephew knows what wonderful people are out there, too.

In the end, I scrolled through the ebay listings, found a seller based in Melbourne and made arrangements for quick postage of the book. It was paid for this morning, posted this afternoon and I hope to get it in Monday's post. Mind you, knowing first hand what Australia Post can be like, I won't panic unless it hasn't turned up by Wednesday. Regardless, the seller will be getting a fully positive rating from me, because of his fast response to my questions, and his quick action after I purchased the book.

I will also be having a little chat with my nephew, and advising him not to wait until two weeks before the due date of an assignment before telling us he can't find a copy of the book he needs to read.

Again, thank you all very, very much, and I promise to get cracking on typing up more of "Different Shades of Darkness", as promised.

I am happy that you managed to find it!
But I also thought that this whole situation was quite odd. Should not the school provide him with a copy if he needs to read it? Back in Eastern German days, we got all our books from the school, and for free as well. We just had to give them back after reading.

My nephew is actually in his first year of university, and ought to know damned well that acquiring these books is his own responsibility. The problem is that he's been made to take some subjects that are designed to introduce students a little more gently into university life, and he isn't happy about it.

If he does this again, though, I'm gonna swat him upside the head.

I kinda thought your nephew was younger for some reason. So there isn't a bookstore connected to the university?
