I don't think there is one, but I haven't heard back from publishers yet, about whether they plan to digitise ...

Thanks for investigating, I haven't been able to find an e-copy anywhere. Disappointing they won't reprint it. I know its more environmentally friendly but I do love me a book!

So ... so, so so, said the cat in the hat, after a slightly tortuous telephone transfer system, I just ended up talking to the director of veterinary journals at Elsevier, which published the book. He wasn't really the right man to speak to (journals as opposed to books), but he explained that very, very few titles like these will ever get reprinted these days. It's all digital.

I thought that was fascinating. I mean of course I knew that most stuff is digital these days, but I hadn't realised that the days of printing textbooks are pretty much over (except for things like Gray's Anatomy).

So the question then is whether the book has been or will be digitised. He said he would try and find out.

I'll let you know what he says.

That's the one! The ECC one is in stock but it's £38ish so again not ideal for poor nurses!!! Everyone should have them both! I think it would be a great tribute to bring them back out at the original RRP.

FYI the webinar vet site has quite a few webinars from Louise which are excellent.

Feezy can I just double check you mean this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wound-Management-Small-Animals-Technicians/dp/0750688319

Looks like there are some new copies still available and as you say, eye-wateringly expensive either way ...

Thanks so much. We all need to soak up as much of her wisdom as we can. She's an inspiration.

[quote user="Feezy"]I wondered if there would be support by the community to approach the publishers and see if they would do another run of the 2 books?[/quote]

I think that's a really interesting idea. I'll have a word and see what the likelihood is, or whether it could be subbed.
