Odana Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 I've decided we want a copy of the BCN blue book to grace our new bookshelves and entertain us on next year's BCN Challenge. I hear they come up occasionally on Amazon/Ebay. However, if anyone has a copy (or a copy of a copy) they want to part with, please do let me know. Forum seemed a sensible place to start shopping!

magpie patrick Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 I may have a duplicate, I'll check next time I go to my storage unit. I said "may" so if anyone else can offer one please don't let me stop you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junior Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 (edited) This book sounds interesting. Any chance of a link to where I can find out more about it? Edited August 20, 2014 by junior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odana Posted August 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Google it - and BCN Bible, Blue Book, etc - you get assorted threads. Detailed old guide to every tiny detail of interest on the BCN, as I understand it, if hard to decipher. I want one! (The new shelving is still a month away and already I am plotting to overfill it..... I have so missed having books to hand!) I may have a duplicate, I'll check next time I go to my storage unit. I said "may" so if anyone else can offer one please don't let me stop you! Yes please!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor Vectis Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 If you don't insist on a 'paper' copy there are folk on this 'ere forum that can furnish you with a scanned pdf version. They know who they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for posting that. I've heard all about this book and been looking for a copy for ages. Would still like an original copy as well if any one has one for sale! Just need to print off a few pages at a time at work now - I think they might notice if I try and print it all at once. Previous to finding this my favourite BCN book was The Other Sixty Miles of which I have 2 well used copies. Thanks again for raising this topic and to Tim for posting a link to download it. I'm sure is saved Richard a lot of pm's! Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
