    I don't think that this ever came out in a paperback version. There are several listed at:

    https://www.addall.com/SuperRare/Us...pCurr=USD&inTitle=When+Chestnut+Was+In+Flower

    https://www.bookfinder.com/search/?ac=sl&st=sl&ref=bf_s2_a1_t1_1&qi=KYTlA7t3XvQmtfpRT2OKdkReFxI_1497963026_1:1:1&bq=author=roger%20macgregor&title=when%20the%20chestnut%20was%20in%20flower%20-%20inside%20the%20chestnut%20canoe

    https://www.amazon.com/When-Chestnut-Was-Flower-Inside/dp/0969824238

    The least expensive one appears to be

    https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/Bo..._-73934-_-77797&ref=imprad73934&afn_sr=impact

    for $75 (Canadian). Good luck,

    Chris,

    Might be worth giving Canadian Canoe Museum a call.
    I don't see it listed on their website but they have had copies in the past and I think I saw a few- hardback in dustcover at a lot less than $75!!!- on the shelves last time there.

    sales@canoemuseum.ca

    Cheers!

    Chris,
    PM me your address. I have a hardback copy which I am happy to send to you from the UK. I have read it twice and I am happy for someone else to have the enjoyment of such a good book.
