Question ID: 44417
I want to buy a book tiltled: "The Tabernacle: Its Structure and
Utensils"
by Moshe Levine. It was first published by The Soncino Press in 1969.
Later editions appeared in 1970, 1971, and the last edition in 1989. 
It is hardcover with many colored plates. The Tabernacle, as described
in the Old Testament was a mobile sanctuary, constucted of gilded
boards and covered by curtains, The Tabernacle accompanied the ancient
Israelites throughout their 40 year wandering through the Sinai
dessert.  I have searched many book sites to no avail. The quality of
the book must be very good to excellent.  it does not have to be a
First Edition, as this will be too expensive for me. The price should
be in the range of $200-$250, depending on condition of the book.
Soncino Press no longer has copies.
Soncino published this book in several language versions, e.g. 
Hebrew/French; Hebrew/Spanish and Hebrew/English.  I am interested
ONLY in the Hebrew/English version.  The $10.00 price depends upon the
researcher actually locating a copy of this book that is currently for
sale.

You may find this book listed on amazon.com (zshop), but this is an error.

Hello,

The book is available from Bloch Publishing Co. of New York for
$125.(http://blochpub.com/page8.html). For their contact information,
see (http://blochpub.com/).

Because I cannot verify that the book is the English version right
now, I'm posting this as a comment.

Good luck

It appears that John Trotter Books, in the UK, has two copies. The
description specifies that they are in Hebrew, but does not list a
second language such as English, Spanish, or French. Further info:

I'm assuming you have entered a "lookout" for the book at Powell's:

http://www.powells.com

Also, you might register your search with The Strand in Manhattan as
they might come across a copy:

Good luck!

I want to thank: mwalcoff, pinkfreud and journalist for their
comments.
I contacted bloch publishing; the book is out of print and mistakenly
on their website.  I have contacted Trotter and the Strand bookstore.
I have just learned that amazon.com has a preorder service, under
which
a buyer "preorders" a book not available on their site and names the
price I'm willing to pay and condition wanted.  the listing is sent to
all of amazon's suppliers and affiliates and is listed for 12 weeks.

You are welcome, and I hope you find the book.  I had a time hunting
down Ginzberg's Legends of the Jews about seven years ago - now they
are everywhere.  lol  I hope you book comes to light very soon.

Hi, I know this is an old thread, but should you still be interested
in finding this book, I have a copy of the 1989 Hebrew/English edition
in excellent condition that I have posted for sale on Amazon.com
