Re: Source of book prices



 Veronica,

 The internet has made this quite simple. There are several large search
engines with prices of op books. I use ABE Books. I do not have the url
handy but go on any search engine like Alta Vista or Yahoo and enter Abe
Books and that should get you there.

 These search engines are made up of hundreds of op dealers listing their
stock together in one database. When I search a book on Abe I have a 99%
hit rate.
