Curiously although prices are given most state 'unknown' stock.  Asda are out of stock.

Even more curious on Amazon, you can get a Used copy for £8 more than a New copy  ???

How much was it to pre-order Mark?
Seems a very reasonably priced publication at £15 or less!

Hi Sean

Mark posted where to order it a couple of months ago - from memory I think it cost me £16.sh from the book depository (free postage).

Glad I did as it will definitely help to keep me amused for the season.  8)

It won't be released here until July 2011 according to Amazon.ca.

Wondering if there is also an edition in Dutch?  Thinking of a gift.

John,

if I'm correct it's bilingual (English/Dutch) in one book. I ordered it for € 25 here in Belgium. Still have to receive it.

Hi John

The edition is in both languages.  Often the left page is Dutch (I presume it is Dutch ?) and the right page is English.

I've had another glance at it while taking a tea break from work this afternoon and I think it is a really good sixteen GBP worth.

Looks like a great book to keep me happily occupied for the years between 'snowdrops 1' and 'snowdrops 2'.

From the little time i have had to peer at it , it does seem to be a great book. More snowdrops to put on the wish list  ::)  I'm very pleased to see Angela Winfield in there, shes wearing a hat i knitted for her  :D ( complete with embroidered snowdrops )

I had better start saving now for the yellow trym Joe Sharman mentions  :o

If you can create me a blokes 'butch version' of the knitted hat in black or dark navy with embroidered snowdrops I will be very interested in having one for wearing on special occasions,   ;D 8)
