Excuse me if the following has been posted previously: For anyone who would like to look for rare and hard-to-locate books, WorldCat is a wonderful tool. You can search by title, name, or subject, and in return you will receive a list of books, music, videos, and articles. Select a book (or other media) and WorldCat will provide you with a list of repositories throughout the world where you can find what you are looking for--beginning with those located closest to you. The web page is: http://www.worldcat.org/ Another great tool is Cornell University's Making of America search engine, which will open pages of 19th century imprints on your computer screen for reading and printing. Web page is: http://cdl.library.cornell.edu/moa/ Hope these tools will be helpful. Kimberley
