Hi Angela,
I've only had this book 3 weeks myself(ignore Gareth's unfair comments ;-)
I
found it second hand on www.abebooks.co.uk. To save you waiting:

McNeil Ernest 161(P)
McNeil W.T. 161(P)
McNeil Wilhelmina Townley 160

The (P) indicates a photo)

regards,
Dai.

P.S. - Gareth - you were waiting for the index to my *other* Skewen book -
that I haven't finished after umpteen years - but watch this space!!

Dai
