Hi,

Try searching on services for out-of-print books, like the following:

	http://ashworthbooks.com/

I haven't used the service, but they have a form to fill out and then
they're supposed to notify you.  I did a search on " out-of-print books"
using the Yahoo search engine:  http://yahoo.com, and found a number of
web sites that offer a search service for such books.

Good luck!
