I have Snow Leopard (10.6) on my iMAC and I did not upgrade to Lion as it is good enough for what I do with my iMAC.
Unfortunately, the Aperture version available in the App Store recommends MAC OS 1.7 or later.
Is there a previous version of Aperture, which is compatible with Snow Leopard (10.6), still available?
If so, where can I get it?
Thank you in advance to the Apple community.

You're probably going to have to look in Amazon or ebay. (just checked Amazon they do say thay have an older version 3 boxed set)
Apple doesn't sell it anymore.

If you shoot RAW with a newer camera, you may need Aperture 3.4 which won't run on Snow Leopard:

Look for the three asterisks
Thank you for your advice. I will have a look.
Thank you for your advice. I will have a look on Amazon or Ebay for an older version of Aperture before I decide to whether buy and install Lion.
As keith alluded to if you stay with SL and get a version of Aperture that runs on it you will be locked into that. There will be no more updates for Aperture or the Raw Camera bundle.
So if that version of Aperture supports your camera and you have no plans to change cameras to something that is not supported in that version then you will be fine.
If you think you might be getting a new camera at some point then you might just want to bit the bullet and do the upgrades now.

The fact that with an old version of Aperture there is no updates available, and that we might change our camera in a few years time (it is only 6 months old) and we have an iPAD 2 and an iPHONE 4, an upgrade to Lion seems inevitable if we want to use Aperture 3.
Thank you for your advice.

Where can I get a version of Aperture compatible with Snow Leopard?
