MessageKim,
Quite often, if I think something I am searching for is on Amazon somewhere but
the Amazon searches keep coming without useful results, I search Amazon using
Google search terms, like this
site: Amazon.com book "title of book"
The "site" operator means the search will focus on Amazon, and the other terms
should be self-explanatory, except of course you want to put the title of the
book you are looking for within the quotation marks.
Another thing I try sometimes is to search for the author's name rather than
the book title, as often similarly titled books will come up and give me more
results than I can quickly skim through.

Hi, Jamie, I'd love to find those titles for a less expensive price, believe
me. Apparently that's impossible at amazon.com. I looked. I also tried
Alibris.com. No joy there, either, but then I find the search functions there
kind of hard to deal with what with the clutter and for some reason (I know not
why) not all the combo boxes will open so I can see all the lists (or rather my
screen reader can't). I'm wondering if it's something to do with that
particular page? I also went to thriftbooks.com and to powells.com. Will try
them again and hope to find those books at a less expensive price. Regards, Kim.

I checked to see if my library had any and they don't, unfortunately. But
here are the titles if anyone else is looking:
4. The Castle of the Winds (1998)
5. The Singer and the Sea (1999)
6. Shadow of the Seer (2001)
