Dear colleagues:

Would anyone know of a domestic vendor for the following, which a student
has requested and which I cannot locate (not in Books in Print,
Amazon.com, Bookfinder)?:

The Life and Work of an Asian Woman Architect, volume 1, by Minnette De
Silva (S. l.:  The George E. De Silva and Agnes Nell De Silva Trust).

There is a review in the March 2000 issue of World of Interiors, p. 32,
and the price is given as rrp #80.  I'm guessing that means it is
published in Sri Lanka--Minnette De Silva was a Sri Lanka native--and for
sale in Sri Lankan currency, but I may be mistaken.  The review states,
". . . can be ordered on 00 94 1 343651."  We thought it might be an
ISBN, but I suspect now it might be a telephone number, since the access
code for Sri Lanka is 94 and the area code for Colombo is 1.

I can try calling that number but would prefer to purchase the volume in
North America.

Minnette De Silva lived for a time in London and met Le Corbusier, who
called her, the review says, "small bird of the islands."

Thanks.
