Need help locating a particular book, dvd, cd... post here!

arindamray · 11th February 2009, 22:28

I am looking for this book "90 minutes at Entebbe" by William Stevenson for my collection. If you know any bookshop where it is available, it will be of great help.

If any of you have this book, I might need your help in a photocopy of the same, in case I do not get to buy the book.

Used to have it, will check and PM you.

i have this book somewhere in my collection! If you dont get one let me know..i'll photocopy it and send it across.

I have a small powerpoint presentation on the raid carried out.
I can send it across if you are interested.
I have some photos of Entebbe airport also, but somehow they do not cover the building where the raid was carried out.

I have been searching for the DVD/VCD of Bharat Ek Khoj a serial on DD by Shyam Benegal. This was based on Pandit Nehru's Discovery of India. The serial was telecast in late eighties (1988 -1990 sometime then) on DD. Its a fine picturisation of our history. I need it for my daughters.

Any help in getting the DVD/VCDs of the serial will be highly appreciated.

If I cannot buy (for reasons of non-availability), I am OK copying it from someone's personal collection (i.e. only if they allow).

Arindam, try the "blossoms book house" (church street, opp amoeba). they keep most books and also their rare book collection is quite good. Important thing is, they prevent piracy by buying books from people and sell those second hand books. That way, you prevent pirated books. You can buy from them, read the book, keep it if you like it, otherwise return them at a slightly lower price than the buying price.

Address:
#84/6, Opp to Amoeba,
Church street, B'lore-560001.

I have that book. But dont want to give it away!

That is one hell of a book!

arindamray · 12th February 2009, 13:07

thanks for the help guys.

@nnandi: thanks, I will try blossoms.
@nickoo: thanks man, let me see first if I can get the book.
@Nikhilb2008: I was not asking you to part with the book

@susan: thanks, however looking for the book mainly.

Nikhilb2008 · 12th February 2009, 13:21

BTW, photocopying my book is possible. Let me know if you dont get the book.

arindamray · 13th February 2009, 19:13

just checked with blossoms, they got one copy sold just day before yesterday!
what a coincidence, that I posted the query on the same day in TBHP.

try AbeBooks

v1p3r · 13th February 2009, 19:43

Sorry Arindam, a 'relative' has borrowed it and I still haven't got it back. Turned the house upside down though, and found some old car parts.

no_limit · 13th February 2009, 19:46

I have got the book. Let me know if you dont find it then I can scan and send it as a PDF.

@no_limit: photocopy or scan would be my last option, like reading book old style.

@v1p3r: hmm! I too have some friends/relative like you and, you know what, once one of them claimed the book is his

. Problem is I do not deface books, writing my name or identification anywhere.
