    It is worth asking at the newsagency but I am fairly sure that it was discontinued a little while ago. They stopped making certain ones and replaced them with different versions. I worked at a newsagency before I had DS and I can vaguely remember thinking people were going to riot because it was so popular . Some newsagencies still have old stock but I just looked on the mag shop website and it isn't listed, so I am fairly sure it is out of print. Your library might have a copy?

    Thanks everyone, I am 99% sure that they no longer print it. My mum had a copy for years, but sent it to the op shop when we grew up. Bummer!! I want my own copy. Ah well looks like I'll have to keep trying on ebay. I'm also going to try Elizabeth's bookshop, you never know, I have found some gems in there before! Otherwise the library I guess is another option, sadly I'd have to return it wahhh. lol.

    Wow!!! There is one on ebay at the moment that is currently at $36 and still has 2 days left! No wonder you keep getting outbid... it must be a very popular book.

    They did a new one a few years ago but it had pretty much all the old cakes in it as well as some new ones (I have both )

    I just did a search for you and WW have released a newer version still which is called Party Animals.

    The only suggestion that I have is ringing Magshop as they sell all the WW products and do their subscriptions and seeing if they have any left (you may be lucky - there may be a box out the back somewhere)

    Otherwise try second hand bookshops.

    Good luck

    I just had a look online, and found some on Amazon (in the UK, they seem to have lots of AWW books). I have PM'd you the link/address. I hope that helps.

    My Mum has this book, and I loved going through it as a child too, so I know why you want one! Hmm, I wonder now if she still has it! I doubt that she would need/want it anymore.... I want it too!
