Subject: Sources of Out-of-Print and Hard to Find Scientific Books (Results)
Hi All:
Much thanks to everyone who sent along information on their favorite
sources of out-of-print and otherwise hard to find scientific and technical
books. Here's the list, divided into a few useful (I hope) categories but
otherwise in no particular order. I've checked on many, but not all of
these sources, and I cannot vouch for the accuracy of the information or
the reliability of any source.
Cheers,
Rich
