[Aya Sophia]

Where would YOU buy YOUR copy of Upon This Mountain: Prayer in the Carmelite Tradition  (written by the Prioress of Notting HIll - a marvelous book, a treasure, cannot recommend it highly enough)

The Carmelite Book Service is the OCD Friars book store.  It's in England, so the books would be expensive to send to USA if you are in USA; if you are in England, they may be more reasonable.

 

The Amazon price looks WRONG... it shouldn't be nearly $100

 

The used ones on ABE (above) look about right.

 

You could also ask the Notting Hill Carmelites whether they sell it directly, or if they would get a portion of the sales through the Carmelite Friars' bookstore....

 

I go through this a lot -- you it will pay you VERY well to look around -- because it appears that there are some book scalpers who are dealing in overpriced books.... one of the books we use in our formation classes is about $20 more if you buy it through one purveyor over another.  But I have also seen exactly the opposite.... the ones with the expensive price on book A will be less expensive on Book B.  You just have to look around.....

 

Happy hunting!

I find it fascinating how the Carmelites trace their founder as Elijah the Prophet.
