One time I read this book in the local library in Australia called 50
Ways of Closing the Sale, by Peter Collins. A few months later it was
stolen, so I tried to get a copy for myself, but I can’t find one
anywhere.

Also, in the back of the book was an offer to get a Peter Collins
Sales Kit from Peter himself, but I believe the phone number is no
longer current.

Where can I get this book, and where can I contact Peter now?

Clarification of Question by markabe-ga on 11 Dec 2002 19:34 PST

bowler-ga,

Thank you for clarifying the full title. I called up the Peter Collins
you found at

http://www.angelfire.com/pe/pcollins/Resfull.html

and it is not the author of that book.

I located an audio tape by that name but not by that author.  Please
see http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0694515639/webwriternews0d
for details.

The correct title is "Over 50 ways of closing the sale".  Here is the
book record from the World Catalog.  Interestingly the only library
listed as owning the book is the National Library of Austrailia:

I also found this website for a Peter Collins:
http://www.angelfire.com/pe/pcollins/Resfull.html.  It lists his email
which may be a way of getting a copy of the book.
