Good for you, Bob. There's also www.bookfinder.com which searches about six or seven of the other sites for you and then lists offerings from them all, including ABE, Powell's, etc. Very handy.

One of our Mudcat heros (who may prefer to remain anonynous) just got the five volume Dover reprint of Child from a bookstore in Maine. He was led to it by a note from Ed Cray on the ballad listserv. Had to pay $20 per volume. But I've seen that edition listed on those internet used-book sites for $400 and $500 for the set (!), so Anon did pretty well. Still, you might turn up a copy of the Folklore Associates reprint (five volumes, bound in three), so don't give up!

Bronson, on the other hand, recently cost supreme-Mudcatter Bruce O. about $150 per volume (there were four of 'em). But hold onto your wallet! Our own Dick Greenhaus has been negotiating with Princeton for the right to put the entire work up here on the Digital Tradition! It'll be a hell of a task, but he's working on it. (Loud cheers!!)
