Wow I didn't realize this book was so hard to find. I will keep my eyes peeled to see if I can find anything. (:
thats such a bummer about the family! i will keep an eye out as well :/ <3
Thank you so very much. It would mean the world to me to be able to read and preserve a copy.
It sucks the only place I can find a copy of this book is, a place called Archive.org. I don't know how it works but you can borrow it. Only for an hour though which isn't really great hah. And then you can renew it but you need to be a patron to the site.
Yeah I've come across it at Archive.org and I've even reached out to the person that uploaded it. They borrowed the copy that they uploaded and had already returned it. I've encountered reviews of the book in various places as well. Most of the reviews are from the early 2000s so I didn't have high expectations that the contact info for those people would still be valid. Most of the emails that I sent came back as undeliverable. Of the few that did go through, I've never received a response.
I swear I found a copy that was in the US at a library. Doesn't help me because I am in Canada but maybe it would help you.
Found the library its in San Francisco, CA.
Yes, I'm in Georgia and their copy can't be loaned, they have it available for on-site viewing only :(
Dang, you are one step ahead of me, hehe.Which makes sense, you have been searching for this book for awhile!
That sucks you can't borrow the copy.
Hi Michelle!! I found an online copy on openlibrary.org you can borrow!! you just need to create an account and I think there’s also an audio version of it. If you cant find it or have any question feel free to ask, i’d be happy to help :D
Its in check out at the moment, because i borrowed it to see if it works, but should be soon available again i assume
also since I’m sick at the moment and have a bit of time on my hands, i’ll see what else i can find!
Hey Ben, I know the person that uploaded the book to Archive and OpenLibrary. They borrowed the book to preserve digitally. I'm hoping to locate a physical copy to preserve. Thank you for looking out!
Ah I see! Well sadly, I couldn't really find anything except two email addresses belonging to Jani so I tried to email those but both turned out to be inactive :/ I found her (old?) website if that's something that could interest you? It has extracts of the draft of the book and some other stories. http://www.witch.plus.com/7days-synop... is the link. For now, I'll keep a lookout for it in local second hand bookshops but can't promise much since I live in germany :)) Best of luck to you though and should I find anything interesting, you'll be the first to know!
Wanted to update here that I finally found the book. I received an alert from AbeBooks that it had become available and immediately ordered it. It arrived in my hands today in excellent condition.HOWEVER!
Given the difficulty in finding copies, I will continue to look for additional copies for preservation purposes. IF you encounter this book please contact me. Thank you very much!
I am searching for a very hard to find book. I've been on the hunt for a few years at this point. The book is The Seven Days of My Creation by Jani Farrell-Roberts. The book details a trans person's experience in British Traditional Witchcraft. From what I understand, the family of the author is extremely transphobic and purchases any available copy to destroy. If you happen across this book in a used bookstore or something, please pick it up, read it, and message me if you'd be willing to part with it. Preserving a copy of this book and making it available to people who'd benefit from it is rather important to me.
Thank you all so very much!
