Does anyone know the best way to find second-hand copies(because she's
out-of-print or silly prices from what I can tell)of any of Mireillle
Johnston's books.

I taped her BBC series - well, the programmes that were repeated a few
years ago - & I have read her obituary. She was quite a woman,
obviously, but to me she epitomises the French experience. Her
accent, her enthusiasm, her knowledge, her appearance, are all things
that make her/made her such a fascinating presenter.

I want to try to find her cookery books to complement the tapes but
also because I want to cook like her & I plan to move to France in a
couple of years time.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks, Jane

Did you look on Amazon? There are titles listed there in a range of prices
from less than $2 to $150.

Hi Jane,

Some books are reasonable from used book dealers on B&N.

http://search.barnesandnoble.com/boo...YH&cds2Pid=946

Otherwise I'd reccomend talking to the used/antiquarian booksellers in
the area and letting them put the titles and prices you are willing to
pay on their wants list.
