SHOPPING W/ ALIBRIS IS BETTER THAN GOING TO THE LIBRARY. MORE COPIES OF THE SAME BOOK AT REASONABLE PRICES. SO REASONABLE, IN FACT, THAT SHIPPING COSTS MORE THAN THE BOOK. BUT STILL, SHIPPING IS STILL INFINITELY CHEAPER THAN GOING TO WHERE EVER MYSELF TO PICK THE BOOK UP. (EXCUSES TO WINSTON CHURCHILL ON ENDING SENTENCES WITH PREPS: 'UP WITH WHICH I WILL NOT PUT.')
HAD BOOKS I WANTED. ONE (FAMOUS --- WHOM WE LL KNOW) DIDN'T.

LIKE THE WIDE VARIETY OF BOOOKS YOU CARRY. IT SEEMS THAT NO SUBJECT OR WRITER IS TOO OBSCURE FOR YOU TO CARRY. CONGRATS!
BECAUSE YOU HAVE A BOOK I WANT. AMAZON DOES TOO, BUT WHY NOT GO WITH YOU? YOU'RE EVEN A BIT CHEAPER.

You are a source for hard to find books. Your spectrum is much broader than book stores that sell new books. And you sell those too.
Where else to look for a book published in 1997?
