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.

Thanks for the list // I'll give them a try.
I dropped in some old notes.
added some old notes
fiddled a little
moved some items offsite to begin judging and possibly collecting them
added some more links, some of which are probably broken..
Added some notes on other books read a long time ago.
audited some links, fixed footnotes
