Bill, I know the book dilemma well as here in Australia things are very similar to New Zealand. I have been looking for certain computer books and have found them high priced and difficult to find. On one visit to the WWW I was accosted by an advert from Amazon books as well as at another time Barnes and Noble. Both these companies seem to run second hand book clearing houses. They can be found simply by running a http://www.amazon.com/ or http://www.barnesandnoble.com/ on the internet. Another place for hard to find books is the advanced book exchange which you will find at http://www.abebooks.co.uk/ I hope this might help you in future searches for books.
