How can I track down a hard to reach book??

[Liberman]

Hey,

I'm really struggling how to track down a book called the "Loom of destiny" and can't seem to get it. I have not got the authors name either which I know is not much help but wandered if anyone knew of good sites that can track down books. I'm doing some research into a group called the Weavers and this book is supposed to be essential reading.

Be cool if anyone else knows of anyother good books to read about the Freemasons and the Cathars aswell??

Thanks:jaw-dropp

A search at abebooks.com turned up several hits.

Also try WorldCat (http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/53632&referer=brief_results)

Amazon.com also find a hit for "Loom of destiny".

I think you're looking for:

Loom of Destiny: The Battle Between the Cathar Weavers and the Church of Rome
by Jean Sebastian Kaici.

It was mentioned in a blog called Secret Patterns about a month ago. I must admit that the subtitle at that site is giving my eyebrows a bit of a workout.

Apparently they ordered it through Amazon, but it's not turning up when I search there. Perhaps you can contact them for more info?

For a look at the cover, here is the posting that discusses it:

I have had good luck at Alibris.com.

Probably:
http://www.amazon.com/Destiny-Short-story-index-reprint/dp/0836932722/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1209664954&sr=1-1

Author = Arthur Stringer

eta: or the other one (what it is about would help!! :):) )

If it is the one cos noted it is possible that there was only one used copy available (and no new) so Amazon has dropped it. They don't usually (leave it as unavailable) but....

Stepladders are usually helpful for hard-to-reach books. :D

Ive also had good luck with alibris.com.

Robert, you never fail to provide me with a hearty chuckle. :)

Liberman, Bookfinder is a great site:

It is a testimony to what a complete nerd I am, that as I read this my mind generated:

"Stepladders? Oh, that's an interesting name for a book search site. Never heard of that one. I should check it out. Hmm, wonder why that smiley is there."

Thanks guys for all your help, I too was having trouble with the Amazon site which is why I wanted to ask for some help.

I've been able to track it down now with Alibris so thanks all for your help. It's difficult to know where to look sometimes.

That's the problem with these little known conspiracy theory books, they can be mighty hard to track down. Perhaps I should start a conspiracy theory book shop online that has all these titles?:)

How about writing a conspiracy theory book on why it's so hard to find some conspiracy theory books? Then, the harder yours is to find, the more popular it will be. So, if it's never published, it could be a best seller!

Midway Books in St. Paul. They got everything (or close to it).

I Like it, I suppose I could have a go at that, some of these books are a nightmare to get hold of. I imagine they don;t print that many of them. Shame more people aren't into conspiracy theories. The ones they carry at Borders are just not that good.

Whilst I'm here does anyone know anything about the Nag Hammadi Library. I've found a bit out but am interested in a supposed missing scroll and it's link to the possible weavers conspiracy.
