1. Find it in a library.
2. Take it out under an assumed name while wearing big sunglasses, a trenchcoat and a false mustache.
3. Never return it.

seven months pass...

I should have bought this when it was only 25 pounds!

wow, that site is pretty useful. i found the "hitchhiker's guide to europe" which i had, but left it with a chess-set somewhere near the jordan/syria border. it was printed in 1986 but was still pretty useful in 2000. i want it back but its 25 pounds too, and with that money i might as well just put it towards a train pass

But make sure it is not at my library -- I would hunt you down and maybe break a couple of bones to teach you a lesson.

I would, too. People really do this - I get complaints from faculty members about it.

I'm looking for "Fly Fishing" by J.R. Hartley. Can't find it anywhere. Even tried television adverts and no &*^&^* luck.
