Anyone know a source for "Mutant 59: The Plastic Eaters"?

ebook source of course...

If you ever read it you will know it's not a super novel but I read it years ago and it was sort of fun and in it's way kinda thought provoking. I have been on a mini-marathon watching the TV series ReGenesis...it has, ahem, re-kindled (I knoooow, I'm sorry for the pun) my interest in re-reading the book.

It was just a fun read bit of speculative fiction where a bacteria mutates as ends up eating anything plastic on the planet.

I remember reading that when I was a teenager

. A very silly book. Most be 30 years since I saw it, sorry.

They based an episode of Doomwatch on that. I remember seeing it.

I *think* I still have my copy. Might have gotten purged in the last move. If not, it's in one of the many boxes in storage.

Not helpful to you either way, sorry.

I don't think it's available as an ebook.

But there are some very cheap copies available:

neko: mine is in a box somewhere in my storage too.

Patricia: Kinda the same conclusion I came to...if I was motivated I guess I could OCR it but that is like, well....work!

jadon: how cool. I never was aware of the Doomwatch TV series. Need to make an effort to find it somewhere. Love that sort of stuff.
