Isn't it on sale at Bruce Castle museum?

If you're desperate I have a copy you can borrow but not keep.

Thanks, Pamish. They have copies to view but none to sell.

Christine Protz may have had a few unsold copies?

In my view her book ought to be available as an ebook. In particular for senior Council staff and councillors making decisions e.g. on Planning.

It has some relevant background pointers about the topography of Tottenham. Suggesting to me the need for the equivalent of a manorial court with powers to impose steep fines on councillors, landowners and others who fail to keep drains and ditches from flooding. The medieval farmers may have been poor but they weren't stupid. There were often good reasons for leaving green spaces.

A truth now too often ignored.
