Rough Guide to Reggae 3rd edn

[hewhofeelsit]

Hi All,

Ive seen the 3rd edition of the Rough Guide selling for some silly prices on Amazon, particularly some American users selling their copies..

Anyone care to provide an assessment of what they think decent used copies are worth?

Apparantly Steve Barrow said there are no plans at present to republish this out of print text.

Anyone heard different?
Also anyone familiar with any other reference books that rival the Rough Guide. Recently purchased Klive Walker's book "Dubwise...Reasoning from the reggae underground" and was a little underwhelmed, though it was useful as an appraisal of Don Drummond's life and legacy.

Cheers

Ed

Overhere the 3rd edition (2004) is available for 10 euro's (new) in a postorder bargain bookshop.

Saw it recently in Borders in a closing down sale, was priced up at £6.00.

I already have a copy but in hindsight should have pickjed it up as my copy is beginning to look a bit worn.
