Hi everone...

I have a request. When my children were young, I always bought books for them. There was one in particular that I've been trying to find that my daughter always loved, entitled "Just Only John". It was published way back in 1968 by Parents Magazine Press and the Author was Jack Kent. I finally found one for sale on the web at an old/discontinued book store, and unbelievably when I went to buy it, it was on hold for another customer!

If anyone has any info on this, I'd really be grateful. I'd love to surprise her with a copy, especially since she now has her own son, John.

Thanks.

BagLady

BagLady! Put a smile on your face! I haven't found the book yet but I found a great place to look for it!

This lady has a used book store. What she doesn't have she'll do a search for and find it for you!

Good Luck!!

Hi Shuttlebunny....no news yet. Do you have any idea how long it takes to get a response from her? (I'm probably a bit impatient)

BagLady you're too cute! It depends on the availability of the book, but I'm sure it will take more than one day!

Shuttlebunny.....I found it!

I located a copy at Robin's Books in California, sent her a request and heard back tonight....check is in the mail tomorrow a.m.! The price was a bit steep, but lower than the last one I found that was sold before I could get to it. At this point, I'm just happy to be getting it....it'll really be a great gift for my daughter and she'll be SO surprised! (I'd give my shirt to know what happened to our copy 30-odd years ago...LOL)

Just wanted to let you know and thank you again.
