: Scott: My wife manages a bookstore. I called the store and had them look up
: your books. They said that their supplier does not carry it in stock, but
: it can be ordered from the publisher. That takes 6 to 8 weeks, but many
: times the publisher will respond that the book is out of print, and all
: remaining copies are sold. Any bookstore should be able to do the same if
: they are worth their salt. You may want to try your local bookstore before
: trying to order from another place. I will try to get you the ISBN number
: which is what identifies your book to the publisher, but your local
: bookstore should be able to look it up as well. Chances are, however, that
: all the books will be out of print. Unfortunately books like that just
: don't stay in print for long.

: Good luck,
: Malcolm

Thanks Malcolm. I've got the ISBN numbers and you are right... it looks like they are out of print. I'm going to check with the publisher to see if there are any left to be sold. I'm also going to check with the library and see if they can help. I appreciate your response.
