[net.sf-lovers] Help me find a book....

After looking in the Boston area for some time now, I've finally decided to
ask readers of sf-lovers for a lead on an out-of-print book.

I'm  looking  for  at  least  one  and preferably two copies of "Tomorrow's
Children",  an  anthology  edited by Issac Asimov.  At one time, about five
years  ago,  I  found a paperback copy in a regular bookshop; my assumption
is/was  that  it  was  then in print.  I wasn't able to afford it then, and
haven't found it since.

I  need  at  least one paperback copy to replace the I borrowed *and lost*,
and  would  like  one for myself.  If anyone can assist by locating a store
with  cop(y/ies),  or  has  one (or more ?) to sell, I'd be anxious to hear
from you.

For  those  not  familiar  with the book, it is a collection of some *very*
good  stories  about children. "Gillead" (?) by Zenna Henderson, one of the
chapters  in  her  "Pilgrimage:  The  Book  of  the  People",  was my first
introduction  to Henderson. Other stories, like "Star Bright" and "The Cave
Boy",  were  some  of  the best short stories I've ever read. Although they
were  about  juveniles,  the stories weren't juvenile. I heartily recommend
the  book to all who enjoy warm, people-oriented speculative short fiction.

I can't help you with "Tommorow's Children" but I can suggest a place
to look.  Mark Ziesing of Ziesing Bros. can probably find a copy (or
two) for you if anyone can.  Try writing or calling:
