Kelli, try www.half.com too. Used books can be very good quality, maybe just a
little mark on the pages where they've been "remaindered". Ebay is good if you
want to get more than one book at a time and someone has them listed together
to save shipping. Media shipping is reasonable. Priority is not. Maybe we
ought to start up our own unschool resource center exchange...

If anyone has any questions on using the used books systems to get the best
quality at the cheapest prices I would be happy to answer them to the best of
my ability.

A site I have found useful is bestbookbuys.com which gives you the best
prices including s/h and includes used book prices too!

I just tried half.com, they didn't have it and then bestbookbuys and they had four listings, 3 of the 4 didn't have the book available any more and the one that did was Amazon and that's where I ordered it and they said it wasn't available anymore. So I'm off to Fun books.

I think it must be popular? Sold out everywhere.
