There is a big bookstore on the web, which has tons of books, in and out of print. I just looked up the John Travis restringing book, and there it was, with 5 or 6 others by other people called John W. Travis. One was a doctor, etc. Anyway, they carry the book, and will special order it. It costs $60.00 U.S., and will take about 4-6 weeks to arrive. They ship books all over the world, and you can order them by computer. They send you notices on how your order is proceeding, by email. The address is http://www.amazon.com Click on _Search_, and put in the title or the author. It's a very fun place to visit. I always have to grab my pocketbook tightly when I go there!
