As far as I know Alex has periods when she can get limited print runs. I have a copy sitting in front of me which I'm not using as I'm not really playing at the moment. I don't want to sell it, but if you want to borrow it for a period, and don't mind paying the postage you could have it on extended loan. It's in as new condition, but I'm actually not fussy if it gets a bit bent up with use.
Perhaps you'd just remember that it is mine when you're done with it.

Hi Alan,
I don’t want to get in the way of the very generous offer above, but I f you’d like to buy your own copy I have a virtually new one I’d be happy to sell as it’s currently gathering dust on the shelf. Please PM me if this helps....
Cheers,
Guy

Here's a piece I wrote about DL, with contact information for Alexandra Browne. You can order directly from her.

And here's an interview with her, FYI

I bought a copy at Hobgoblin in Birmingham last summer.  There were other copies there, all apparently new.

Elderly amateur musician hoping to stave off dementia by learning to play the melodeon.  Main instrument a Tommy, also D/G and G/C pokerworks,  a single row 2 stop Hohner, and a new addition to the free reedery, a rather splendid Paolo Soprani four voice 120 bass c-system chromatic button accordion.  Very shiny, very loud, and about the same size and weight as a small car.  Now I’ve traded me Benny with (ahem) a cash adjustment, to a three voice 60 bass Castagnari K3.

I've contacted Alex to alert her about this thread.
She is still a member of this forum: 'Valkyrie'.

Her last post to date was this one, where she indicated all the printed copies of her book were now sold:
