Don't have a copy but I have seen it available in the gift shops on board Celebrity ships.

You might be referring to who Joyce Gleesson-Adamidis writes Under the Captains Table linked here:

She wrote "If I Were Not Upon The Sea".

[starketcher]

I guess this last is her parents home since she lives in Pireas with the Captain.

or - you could always try amazon.com

Thanks.

 

I tried amazon, no luck. Not yet anyway.

 

The geocities links did not work.

They are living in Athens now. I email with Joyce fairly regularly. When I ordered at the end of last year, her assistant said there were very few copies left. You can always email Joyce at the address above and ask.

I have an autographed copy of "If I were not upon the sea" by Joyce Gleeson-Adamidis that I bought on Celebrity Horizon two years ago. It is a good read. If you can't find a copy I will part with mine but you will need to contact me within two weeks as I am then off to Europe.

I got a used copy on Ebay several months ago. It was in excellent condition and it was autographed. Give them a shot.

You can buy this book onboard all the Celebrity ships. I had contacted Joyce about purchasing it from her and she said why not just buy it on the ship to save the shipping costs. If you don't see it in the general store just ask.

I bought a copy for my father as a gift, and then read it after he was done. I hate to say it, but I didn't like it all - very poorly written IMHO. The subject was interesting, but I just didn't feel she was much of a writer (neither did my father). But each to their own opinion!

Do the sell it on Royal Caribbean ships as well, I also would like a copy.

[seagulls]

rcicruiser, I have no idea whether they would sell the book on RCCL ships. I would recommend that you bring up the topic on that board and see if anyone knows.

I just emailed Joyce and received a reply right away. She must have been at her computer. She is holding a book for me while I get a check in the mail. You might try to email her and see if she has any more copies.
