Where can you get a copy of The Cypher book the film is based on ?


As the book is out of print and is extremely hard to find, does anyone know
(or have a used copy), where one you get a copy of 'The Cypher' book, by Gordon Cotler, that the film was apparently based on ?

Hmm, you might want to try Powell's (http://www.powells.com) or Alibris. Or the Strand in NYC (http://www.strandbooks.com). Or Amazon UK...

Many thanks sir, as I doubted anyone would even reply. I tried those
and other similar out of print book places online before posting, but no luck. If you hear of any place (online or not), who'd have a copy, please private message me.

You're welcome! Yikes, _those_ places came up snake-eyes?!? Wow. You might also want to try ABE Books online--and The Mysterious Bookstore (http://www.mysteriousbookshop.com/). The latter specializes in thrillers/mysteries, etc...

I don't remember the name, but there is supposed to be a huge mecca for used books in Washington State... having never been that far west except for southern CA, I don't know what or where. Best of luck.

Well, I did a little searching and found this site that lists libraries that have this book. I don't know how reliable this information is.

Oh, yeah. It's apparently "The Cipher", not The Cypher".
