Doesn't anyone use Abebooks anymore?

Solved, I think. When I did my first search at abebooks I gave the
title as The Lore and Language of School Children. (It's
'schoolchildren.') The nine expensive offerings I came up with were
listed by their sellers as '.....School Children.'
I've been having good luck with Amazon's 'used and new'
selections--especially for paperback mysteries and recent
trendy-but-ultimately-unsatisfying novels. Most of the time 'like new'
mysteries and 'thrillers' go for a US penny. I suppose they make it up
on the shipping charges. Even so, it beats the local drug store.
