Have you guys tried the Barns & Noble site? www.bn.com They have a section devoted entirely to out of print books. Just a few minutes ago I happened to see an item on out of print books in the October issue of Yahoo magazine. They recommended the B&N site. I quickly checked it out for Languages of Pao, and literally within seconds, I was presented with various copies of the book for sale. The paperback ones were listed at between $18 and $20. Not cheap, but then again, not in print either. Hope this helps. =20 (PS. I'm quoting myself because when I sent this, I wasn't aware that, due to my ISP changing my address on me, and despite their assurances that nothing would change, it seems that I can receive mail _from_ the = list, but not send anything _to_ it! :-P I rejoined under my new address and hope that this will allow my mail to go out. ) Dan Sulani -------------------------------------------------------------------- likehsna rtem zuv tikuhnuh auag inuvuz vaka'a.
