I happen to enjoy searching the "Mom and Pop" private networks for hard to find books, shell boxes, ammo for friends. Glenn has almost 1000 o.p. books in his shop at my last visit anyway, and I'd rather see him get a sale than someone that I don't really know. Long before the internet and E-Bay came on the scene that's how I did it, and I am an "old dog" when it comes to learning new tricks I suppose. But thanks for the info on the abe-site, I am sure you are right about current Parker books being available-PS- I went there and you were right, but my visit also confirmed, at least to me, that the $30 price I offered Mark for my "spare copy" and the $50.00 range my SC friend George Lander mentioned in his PM to me, are both "right as rain"!!
