Theresa,
The book is out of print, we have only 2 used copies in a good condition from the original printing.
But it's pricy $160 each copy, shipping to US included. See attached document.
Best Tomas

You're welcome! Let me know if you find it for a reasonable price.
Me, too. I do not have a sulcata but I sure would love to read it. Too bad it is not digitized and online. I wonder if the author should be asked to do that. Sooooooo many people would buy it that way. If anyone knows the author out there, ask him to offer it online, for payment of course, and we will all buy it!! : )
WOW! for $160, I'll sell you mine!... in fact, since your a TFO member I'll let it go for a measly $159.99! 
Have you tried outlet stores that specialize in out of print books? Here in Texas we have a store called "1/2 Priced Books" and they always have books that are out of print. However, they didn't have this book when I was looking for it a year and a half ago but their stock is ALWAYS in flux because of constant donations/purchases.

Aha! Zamric, would you be so kind to give me, when you can, after the holidays is fine, the contact information for the author, publisher, from your book? I am going to ask if we can get them to offer it online. With so many sulcatas and sulcata owners and new owners up ahead, this would be a lovely thing to have readily available.
Hmmmmm, Josh ... maybe a deal where it is available to TFO members only, as an exclusive. Just thinking out loud ...
I can pay the $160. I'm just not crazy enough to let myself do it. I can't justify paying that much for a book unless its gold plated on the cover. LOL I will just have to be patient and keep looking for one.
Here is the cover and a previous thread for you BeeBee.

Thank you Tom! I will get on it as soon as I can. Does not hurt to ask. Thanks again! : )

Thanks Tom! This is exactly where I was going send BeeBee. Hard to believe it has already been 2 years since you introduced this book to us!
Thank you Zamric and Tom, both. We need that book back for the sulcata owners to read! I know the print version is a collectors item now. But online, digitized would be so easy peasy and the author can still get revenue for his work! : )
