I got a copy of the Campbell book (*XyWrite 4 Macros,* with Bonnie Allen)
about a month or so ago through Amazon.com's out-of-print book locating
service. It came in excellent condition, even shrink-wrapped (although
anybody could do that), with the original disks intact and unopened.

Also relating to this topic is an article that appeared in Nov. 23
Newsweek--"Books Caught in the Web." The article is about B&N's buyout of
Ingram. The following especially caught my eye: "[B&N] plans to stock
every book in print and to revive thousands of out-of-print books using
Ingram's Lightning Print, the industry leader in print-on-demand
technology. 'No book will ever go out of print again,' says B&N vice
chairman Steve Riggio."
