If you've been a runner for 43 years, surely you've got to know someone that owns the book and trusts you enough to lend you their copy. And when you do read it; it'll be well worth the wait. It may even be worth paying some of what they're asking for newer editions on ebay. Clyde, you may want to relax a little.

If 'Once a Runner" is such a cult favorite, how come this book isn't reprinted quickly? I don't understand? I'd love to read it being a runner for 43 years but I can't find it anywhere except in old copies for over $300. Libraries don't even have it. Come on Mr Parker make it available or risk your credibility as a legitimate author. What is it with this guy, Parker?

The Number is (530) 226-0600. I was told they had about 20 copies in early december, and they're selling it for $20. This is my favorite running books, and I lost my original copy because I lent it to too many of my teammates. Though I wasn't even born until a decade (or two) after the book was written, It's inspriring, and applicable as ever.

I almost fell over, ran to the computer to get him a copy anywhere. To my shock and dismay I couldn't find a copy in any library in lower NY State or for less than $124 froma book seller. Please do another printing. The library copies must have been stolen. I am ILLing it from somewhere across the country until I can afford to buy him his own copy.

I remember most of those guys, crossing paths with them at Florida Relays or the national cross country meets or even on the roads at the Atlanta Marathon. Regarding speculation on <em>Again to Carthage</em>, John's got it right; I've read over half the book although as chapters not as a continuous story. And while I look forward to the publication, I'm more interested in seeing <em>Once a Runner</em> made into a movie.
