Can I buy your copy of so and so? Sorry, but no, none of my collection is for sale or trade.
I found so and so in my attic/at a boot sale/ in a charity shop but it is missing the rules. I see you have a copy, can you send me the rules? I have quite a lot of rules, but mostly translations of German games (the best source is currently www.boardgamegeek.com). I don't carry copies of rules for UK games, try www.hasbro.com. If you email me, I'll send you a file of useful websights.
Where can I get a copy of so and so? If the game is more than 4 years old, it is likely out of print. But often, good games do get reprinted. Try www.leisuregames.co.uk in Britain or www.funagain.com in the US, try ebay, or email me and I'll send you a file of useful websights, including 2nd hand dealers.
