In addition to Larry Connor, you might inquire if Karl Showler of B&K Books
has copies.  Karl specializes in out-of-print and antique books. I have the
following address and telephone number for him.
B&K Books
Riverside
Newport Street
Hay-on-Wye
via Hereford, HR3 5BG UK
telephone (440) 497-820386 - I haven't used the telephone number is lately,
and I can't recall when I last made an inter
national call, so I am not entirely certain about the prefixes.  44 is the
international code for England.  I'm not certain about the "0".
 
I have read and thoroughly enjoyed each of these books.  I highly recommend
them.
 
My wife and I had the wonderful opportunity to spend an afternoon with Br.
Adam in May, 1993.  He was a gracious and delightful host, "retired" from the
apiary by that time.  He offered us glasses of his mead, aged 10 years, truly
the nectar of gods, and then gave us a tour of the apiary.  It is a wonderful
memory that we shall treasure.
