Just to let anybody know that is thinking of building a terrapin, the book and plans are still available without having to pay silly flea bay costs, I've just ordered one for £30.00 inc p&p

Plans as well for that money or how much extra are they?

Bugger it, though - there goes my pension plan.

I've an original copy of the book but would like to get my hands on the plans to go with it

I believe Clare Staniforth manages them these days.
Brilliant book, mine was on permanent loan from the local library, to the point where it was easier to declare it as lost & pay the lost fine that pay the overdue ones!

Me too!! You will have to say where you got it from.

You slipped in before I could press post!

I think the publisher, a member on here and his daughter have the rights to sell both the book and the plans.

I would love to know where you bought them from?.

Rob Mackay is the person you need to speak to - he published the book again. I have both the plans and the book - -the plans are a bit rich as its just an A3 photocopy for a lot of money.

Yes but this is out of print? Can't get it from mainstream sources.... So where can you get hold of it!

prawnabie - 6/5/16 at 05:47 PM

If its out of print I may sell mine!

Seriously tempted to buy one even though I am not in a position to build one. Is it £30 for the book and more for the plans?.

Yup the book is £30 I'm not sure how much the plans are, as I already have them.
