George, good example, yes the early Daly titles are difficult
to find in original state and frankly just are not worth it.
I have a number of specific books that I've found to be quite
difficult to locate for various reasons. But I think also it
is a matter of persistence, I've found incredibly difficult
to unearth titles by just keeping them on the old wantlist
and they eventually come my way. But if for some reason I had
had an urgent need for them, say for a deadline on an
article, forget finding them.
