As this was an exclusive publication for WHSmiths, the only way to obtain one is to visit your local WHSmiths shop, or try their website. It is, of course, subject to availability and as it has been on sale for several months it is possible that your local branch has sold out, which can be very frustrating! We've been given the following advise to help you track one down.
1) Make sure the staff member you speak to is looking for The Bumper Book of Knitting in the magazine section, not the books section. It's called a book, but it's really a very fat magazine, which has apparently caused some confusion.
2) Ask the staff member to run a search on the WHSmith intranet. This should tell them where stock is available.
3) If they still can't find it, ask a staff member to call WHSmith consumer services. If the staff at your local branch can't locate a copy for you, consumer services should be able to, provided it's still available. This is not a public number, but an internal service so we can't give out the number directly. You'll have to go in store to make this request.
We hope this helps you find what you're looking for. With over 150 pages of our favourite patterns from the early days of Simply Knitting, as well as tips, tricks and ideas, it's a great buy.
