Again, both eBay and Yahoo Auctions, as well as Amazon’s privately-run auctions, are good places to look. Powell’s also has the occasional first edition (not recent – like Sniffed Glue vintage), if you’re looking for those. If, on the other hand, this is a relatively recent hardback you’re looking for – within two or three books back from the most recent release, say – you might try the bargain racks & bins of your local chain bookstore. In addition, The Mystery Guild also boasts a program where you can get several hardbacks for .99 – but they’re a special, slightly smaller edition printed especially for the club, not the original hardbacks, and taking Mystery Guild up on the deal entangles you in a subscription-type contract (where you have to buy a certain amount of books at full price in a year, etc.). But, then again, that might work just fine for some of you folks out there. Your call.
