Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: a Pattern Language

[HeidiNYS (HeidiNYS]

Dear Co- conspirators,

We too used A Pattern Language in thinking about building Cantine's Island 
[Saugerties, NY].

We were able to motivate a couple of Libraries in our system to buy a copy.  

And my husband has turned me on to several websites for used books.  As I 
understand it, when Amazon started selling used books, a number of used 
bookstore owners decided to throw in the towel.  
Others got together and formed a cooperative used book site.  I know our 
local used books stores participate.  It's neat as I deal with the individual 
shop which has the book I want, but can access this info readily thru there 
shared database [is this coming across with clarity??].
So I was just able to buy a hardcover copy of a Stewart Edward White book 
[anyone into the Betty Books???] and have it shipped to my off-the-grid 
friend who'd lost her copy.  the book cost me $6.  A great deal.  Plus a few 
bucks shipping.

Here are a couple: ABEbooks.com & Alibris.com.  Good luck with finding A 
Pattern Language/other treasures,
ruth
PS, yes, we'd love to find a famiy for our one open site;  It is a beautiful 
location, land we recently acquired.  845-246-8601.
