Can someone in Paris or London help me find a poster?

In Breadman's post "Snowstorm in Paris-a Few Pix", there is a poster in picture #5 that I am trying to find. It is for the book, "A Day in the Merde" by Steven Clarke. I have tried the publishers in this country but the cover and promo materials are different and not avaible here. Any ideas?

I'm sorry I can't give the link to the post but I don't know how! Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Here's the listing of the book on the Web site of the publisher in the UK, with the image that you want:

http://www.booksattransworld.co.uk/catalog/results.htm

I'm sure they have an e-mail addresson the site; send them an e-mail and ask them whether they will send you a poster.

To include the URL of a thread, right-click on the name of the thread, click on "Open in New Window" and cut-and-paste title of thread into your message.

I've already told you: With your mouse on the name of the thread, right-click on your mouse; that will bring up a number of choices, one of which is "Open in New WIndow."

(Actually, different browsers have different right-click menus. In IE, it says <b>Copy Shortcut</b>. In FireFox, the one to choose is <b>Copy Link Location</b>.)

Hi gomiki, horrible weather here, heavy snow, thunder and windy. I had asked that UK Random site about the poster for a gift but so far no reply.

Hi mimi. I think we posted at the same time. Horrible here. Thank you so much for the effort. I haven't had a chance to work on it having just arrived home.

Gomiki - go to the following link on PhotoWorks... I uploaded a digital copy of the poster from the web site Eloise found... You can order a print of the poster from PhotoWorks - 11&quot; x 14&quot; would be about maximum. Not the same as an original but....

tondalaya, I did not know what it means or how to pronounce *merde*. I had to say &quot;can you spell that?&quot; when I spoke with someone at the publishing company and I asked her what it meant LOL!!

I just love the image on the poster.

It's quite a funny book, and rings true about english/french attitudes towards each other (we quite like each other even if we have been mortal enemies for over 1,000 years - and we both get the pip with the Germans)
