But remember that Amazon is noted for charging higher prices for used
books than can be found elsewhere. (I wouldn't _think_ of calling them
overpriced or anything.)

If there's a shortage of used-book stores, and even if there isn't, don't
forget Internet marketplaces like <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.abebooks.com" target="_blank">www.abebooks.com</a> , which is my favorite
source. Advantage: vast numbers of bookstores from all over the world
list there, and that creates a genuine competitive market. Disadvantage,
relative to the local shop: Shipping charges.
I rely heavily on it, and have acquired the Green Book and that other one
named in Aboliton of Man just by putting them on my want list and waiting.
With Lewis editions, your only problem will probably be the large number
of choices it will immediately present.
