[MR] RE: ISO a book

[Betty Eyer]

Well, I don't know if it's me, or what I am looking
for, but I have had rotten luck, even with this
source.  I get nice little letters from them that say,
"Yeah, we'd like to find that book, too.  If we run
into one, we will bring up this record and see if you
still need it. Assuming, of course, that we don't sell
it first to one of those other nutty SCAdians who got
on our list ahead of you."

And don't get me started on Amazon's book exchange or
ebay.

Sigh.
