A Brief Introduction to Internet Searching

• If a title appears in a bibliography, unfortunately, that does not mean in every case that it's available. Bibliographic information is often not current.
• Prices in UK and US bibliographies are to be taken with caution, because not every country has fixed prices for books. For example, many publishers have different British pound and U.S. dollar prices and supply in Europe only at the pound price, while others have special dollar prices for Europe, and yet others provide no discount.
• It's better to send us the information you find--such as ISBN, author, and title--by e-mail. We'll consult our bibliographies and get back to you with the anticipated price and delivery time.
• We can almost always provide in-print books at their original price (current exchange rate plus 7% VAT, where applicable) in two to six weeks. Inside of Germany: On a single day's order up to EUR 50, you are only charged for domestic shipping; above EUR 50, you are not charged for shipping. Outside of Germany: You are charged the actual shipping charges only, there are no handling charges.
• If you've found a new bibliographic search engine on the Net, we would appreciate it if you would mail us the URL.
