Well first of all, it's Catherine with a C, which will help your internet search a little.

The two main publishers of large print titles are Ulverscroft - http://www.ulverscroft.com/ and W F Howes - http://www.wfhowes.co.uk/ . The title isn't listed on either website, but they're bringing new stuff out all the time so it might be worth giving them a call, especially as the original wasn't published until last year.

For your information, both companies publish monthly lists of their titles. It may be worth asking them to put your mother on the mailing list. They also produce audiobooks, which she might like to consider as well.

Hi, so many thanks for your reply,I will call them, my mum is 86 and was up at a silly time one morning unable to sleep and listened to people on the radio talking about this book.
As we are both visually impaired, picking up a copy at the local library is not so straightforward, she would definitly not be able to see it, so like I say so many thanks again, for taking time to research and reply, so much apppreciated.

You could ask the library about it. The library service I work for carries a very large stock of large print and audiobooks, and I see no reason why other services wouldn't do the same.
