If you check on the Gloucestershire County County website : under Library & Archives
http://www.gloucestershire.gov.uk
and search for David Perry
There is one copy available at Cinderford, one copy at Coleford and one at the Headquarters
and you can reserve this item

OK, thanks. But unfortunately, I'm not in Gloucestershire.

If you have a FamilySearch Family History Centre within reach it may be worth trying to see if you can view a digitised version of this book. I think the notes are saying that it has been digitised!

Seems I do, though the info on their website is minimal but I can try and contact them.
Thanks for the tip.
I would still be interested in buying a copy if anyone knows of one available.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I've now found a copy for sale at Past and Present Books of Coleford. They have a good range of Forest related books but don't seem to have a website. You can find them on ebay though at http://stores.ebay.co.uk/pastandpresentbooks/Forest-of-Dean-/_i.html?_fsub=7431735015. Worth a look if you are interested in Forest history.

You can still borrow books from out of your own county as libraries do have a scheme to do so. You may have to pay for this service through your own library but is very useful.

I have not been keeping up to date with the Forum. I was very sad to hear of the death of David Perry.
When I started Family History Research in 2000, following Heart Surgery and retirement. I told my mother what I was proposing and she suggested I should visit her cousin in the Forest of Dean, who gave me a Marfell Family tree of around 250 people, a very good start, but more importantly she passed on some key contacts.
She also invited David Perry along to meet me and he provided me with a lot of information relating to the Cowmeadow family.
Very sad news indeed
