If you are willing to pay a price for an out-of-print book, most yellow-pages or used-book stores can direct you to a book search service. These folks will take your name, desired title and author, and money, and find you a copy. Not having used such services, I don't know how much they charge for not finding a book nor how much they tack onto the price they find it at. I have always preferred buying used books I find to paying for later delivery. (Whether this is a measure of my inability to delay gratification or a measure of your desire for a particular book is for another discussion group.) My problem is building bookshelves fast enough. -- William Ricker wdr@MITRE-Bedford.ARPA (MIL) wdr@faron.UUCP (UUCP) decvax!genrad!linus!faron!wdr (UUCP) {allegra,ihnp4,utzoo,philabs,uw-beaver}!linus!faron!wdr (UUCP) Opinions are my own and not necessarily anyone elses.
