I need to get hold of a copy of the Scottish Arts Council book 'New
Painting in Glasgow, 1940-1946' by Dennis Farr, published in 1968.
I've had no luck using inter-library loan and can't find a copy to
buy. Any ideas?

I?m not sure of the position re: inter library loan (you may have
tried this already), but a copy is in the Bodleian Library under this
reference.

I have found many rare books in this manner in the past.

Thank you for your help - I am trying to get this book through an
inter-library loan and I know several libraries have a copy but so far
I've had no success with my local library. Thanks anyway.
