I received a copy of this, but since Joy didn't she requested that I
repost it.

Fellow qajaqers -
Indeed, I checked the Baker & Taylor database on CD-ROM and it does say the
book is out of print. BTW, here's the full bibliographic information on it:
author: Zimmerly, David W.
title: Qajaq: Kayaks of Siberia and Alaska
pub: University of Washington Press, 1986
If you have access to the world wide web, try these URLs for information
on purchasing out of print books from used/antiquarian book dealers:
<http://www.smartpages.com/faqs/books/catalogues/faq.html>
this is the FAQ for the Usenet newsgroup rec.arts.books
<http://www.abebooks.com/>
search the online Advanced Book Exchange database
<http://www.antiquarian.com/>
more online resources for out of print books
If you have access to Usenet, you may want to try the newsgroup
<rec.arts.books.marketplace>, and post your request as "WTB" (want to buy).
HTH!
