I have posted this response, as it is of general interest to the list.
Ms. Goyette,
Quite simply, the most comprehensive locator of out-of print books is: Bibliofind.com
http://www.bibliofind.com/
While checking on a few titles for myself today, I entered your title (not exactly a common one)and came back with over (25) copies for sale of Bloomingdale's Book of Home Decorating by: Barbara D'Arcy; most selling for as little as ten dollars. Happy choosing!
Best Wishes,
