Guide to Out-Of-Print Materials

This slim handbook gives ways to find out-of-print materials such as books, recordings, serials, videotapes, CDs and DVDs by using both traditional methods and online sources. It gives specialty dealers, print-on-demand services, sources of newer and remaindered editions, and sources of audio-visual materials. It also gives the benefits and limitations of these two approaches to searching, a URL resources list, a glossary of terms, and a list of further reading. The table of contents does double duty as an index. Annotation c2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
