Hi, Kes, I don't have problems with searching at Amazon.com. It's
that Alibris site that gets me. If you go there, there are a bunch of
combo boxes you have to go through and sort out. I was frustrated
because I couldn't open the combo box for the condition of book I'd
accept. I don't know if it has something to do with the scroll moving
or not. Mind you, both sites are great, but I can deal with Amazon.com
a bit better. By the way, that was a neat hint you gave me. I'll use
it. Regards, Kim Friedman.

Kim,
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.
