To Paul and All: That is excellant advice. I have used the Advanced Book Exchange for slightly less than three years now and have bought hundreds of books through them. Sometimes I just browse through their search engine, just to see what is being offered in my area of interests and rarely go empty handed. On the average I buy about 100 to 150 books a year, either directly through their service with the independent book dealers or indirectly throught the dealers themselves after using their search engine. The only problem that I have found is that if you have an older (I mean OLD) computer - and mine is very, very old, their new, revised on-line program, while easier to use, doesn't operate with older and outdated systems - like mine. But that is a problem that less than one percent of the internet users - just old guys like me that hold on to old machinery way after their usefulness has ended - seem to have. I still have a rotary dial phone somewhere in the house - can't dial out with it, it's just for incoming calls, but it looks neat. :) By all means, I second the motion to give ABE a try. You will end up expanding your library in ways you can't imagine and the time searching leads you to many interesting item you never knew existed.
