but beginning last year I tried to get a copy from the Tropenmuseum and talked and mailed with one of the staff. There was no intention to republish it and nothing was left in stock. I tried to convince them though pleading there is interest in the beadworld.
Some days later I received a mail I could have the copy that was in their office!! A few days later I could not believe my eyes. They indeed had sent me that copy. Lucky me!

The Afrikamuseum in Tervuren, Belgium has no links with the Tropenmuseum in Amsterdam. In Tervuren there is no beadcollection to my knowledge except for some ethnic jewelry.
I just phoned the bookshop in the Afrikamuseum Tervuren and they never had it for sale there.Sorry.

Online booshops in this part of Europe all are out of stock. I will check it regularly because I know quite a lot of people are interested. The moment I see or hear of any copies, new or secondhand I will leave a message on BCN.

Who knows you might end up finding a second hand one on the ebay pages. Good luck!
