G'day!
Any one have a copy of 'Heads I Win'?? the book about David Gee(?) the coin forger. it was printed in 1986 I think . I cant seem to find a copy anywhere.
Thanks!
our local library has copies
we loaned it from there
I have tried my local library to no avail.
Was hoping someone will have a copy the would like to sell. From what I hear its a good read!
quite a scarce book to obtain
Yeah very hard to find!
Been looking in every used bookstore to no avail.
one day!
I don't know if any of these are near you, but the following trove lists 29 libraries that have it.

I got my copy through eBay funnily enough. Or you could try Abe Books. There are none on there at the moment but if you save the search you should be notified if one pops on to the market.
You could give MEF books a ring. I think they advertise in CAB and maybe Macca's you might find their ad.
edit. (02) 9913 3036 from their CAB ad. I have rung them before and they've been helpful. Got their answering machine and they rang me back. I don't think they have a website.

tired myself out for the day... night, night
A copy recently sold at a local coin club auction here in Brisbane. You could always try getting in touch with your local coin club and see if they have it in their library, though they probably only loan out books to members.
I have a copy, but it's not for sale. :P And yes, it is a good read.

NManns,
In which state do you live? Capital city?
A significant number of libraries have the book in their holdings that could be borrowed.
I can provide you with some suggestions.
Cheers
