Hi There. Basicly, the Book Port and its close cousin the book courier are both manufactured by a company called Springer Design. Since Springer Design are no longer producing these units actively, you'll have to either find a book port from a stockest that still has them or else try to find one that is second hand which might be available for sale. I am in the UK and so the lists I use are primarily for UK residents, but if you email me privately at "ibrahim_gucukoglu@xxxxxxxx" I'll try putting out a request to see if anyone is able to supply you with one. I hope this helps and I look forward to hearing from you. On Sat, 28 Jun 2008 00:45:40 -0400, "Maria O. Georgakarakou" <mariaog@xxxxxx> said: > Hello everyone.
