[BCMA] WANTED - Book "Canadian Houses of Romance" by Katherine Hale-- Macmillan, Toronto 1926

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Thank you all. 

I am aware of the commercial book sites like www.abebooks.com, I use them frequently and in fact a different book I had ordered was on my desk when I arrived at work this morning. 

I should have phrased my question more carefully and asked if any >>> MUSEUM <<< had a copy that they wanted to deaccession. As it turns out, no museum seems to want to deaccession a copy ... a missed opportunity for them! 
;-)

Of course I should have spell checked the message as well. For "Seaq" read "The Sea Captain's House."

I have now ordered a copy through Abe books.

Our 1865 Irving House is mentioned in the book pp. 202-203. "The Seaq Captain's House." We have a photocopy of these pages from the SFU Library copy (FC 215 637), but would like the book for our reference collection.
