Made In Birmingham

Just ordered a copy of this book direct from David Harris. It's my Christmas Present from my oh & my two kids because it's soooo expensive! $171.95 including postage!

you're mad

Wow! Never heard of it, why so expensive?

Because it's a definitive history of the EBT by Dr David Harris (brilliant man!) and there have only been 200 printed. Of those 200 only 40 are hard back & I'm getting a hardback, signed by the author!

Nice, its like buying art

I'm a complete sucker for a good dog book! I've got loads that I've collected over the last 40+ years. Some are worth a bit, but others just have sentimental value.

I'm a bookaholic!

I still havent finished Oogie completely yet , but read far enough to know how it all went

I've got Oogie - nice book!

I can't read, well I can read but I can't read a book, unless on holiday and then its a sh1t girly book, I would love to get reading but have the attention span of a gant Xx

I'm going to start reading it again from the beginning at some point when I have some time , but then I can't be on here

OMG that is a really expensive book. Treasure it.

Oh, I will!!!

I love books, I have a couple that are signed by Terry Pratchett, love the disc world series

Any books signed by the author will increase in value!

But the reasons I wanted this book are 1. It's by David Harris - one of the world's foremost authorities on the Bull & Terrier breeds and 2. There are only 40 hardbacks in the whole world!

Book arrived today, duly signed by David Harris (the author).....I really want to start reading it, but I can't.

Why cant you read it Caryll, is it in another language ???

It's my very expensive Christmas present from my oh & kids!

I'm sure it will be a great read for you at Christmastime. You have to be very patient now and wait.

I'm not the most patient of people, especially when there's a good book to be read............

I love books, but 99% of all the books I own are fictional. I like history and whatnot, but I have the memory of a dead goldfish, so...I don't absorb anything . Hope you enjoy it though

I'm looking for this book everywhere (also in the Usa) but without success   i am available to offer 400 euro if somebody has one copy available, my name is Lorenzo i live in Italy. Thanks

Hi there! Have you tried David Harris himself?

P.S. Sorry, we don't allow email addresses on the forum. 

Thanks for your reply Caryll, but Davis Harris is passed away just some days ago. Please, if you have some infos where i can find this book let me know.

First of all Merry xmas Caryll   
Hope you enjoy your book.

Oh, that's so sad, I didn't know.  I've had many conversations with him, and he was a lovely man - a great loss to the dog world.

I have to admit that I've only ever seen this book on sale directly from him.

Thank you Mike - you too! Happy Christmas, that is, not hope you enjoy a book!

Maybe we should say merry Christmas now for this year? 

Why not. Does this mean you can now have your book to read?

Yep! I've read about two thirds of it - it's a very in depth book & takes a bit of reading!

Merry Christmas Mike!! 

My gosh that's expensive but if its what you want then well worth it

It's now worth at least double what we paid for it. It's signed by David Harris who has now, sadly, passed away.
