Things to consider ∞

  • Remember that a book may have been released multiple times, so it may have different ISBN numbers.

  • Even if a book is out of print it may be purchasable or downloadable..

    • As an audiobook, and some even with the author as the narrator!
    • A PDF or other e-book.

  • Do not give up just because you have one small scrap of information. Write down anything you know about the subject and search for other keywords and perhaps you can find a hint somewhere in the world.

    • See if you can find a list your item might be on. Maybe find a community and ask.
  • Does the author have a website? That's a great place to start for information on getting a book.
  • There are MANY ways to buy used books. There are online stores of them, there are real-world stores.. there are little clubs and other ways to request used books. Sometimes you can post a "wanted note" for a book.. you never know what would turn up!
  • Don't forget the real world! Libraries and book stores should not be discounted. Asking a real person about a book isn't out of the question.. you might turn up some good information, especially if the book is/was popular.

  • Though woefully out of date in places, read misc.books.technical Frequently Asked Questions.
