I'm trying to locate a book that is out of print, and used copies are
harder to find than a video on MTV.  Here's the info, and thank you
for helping!

Growing a Beautiful Garden: A Landscape Guide for the Coastal
Carolinas
by Henry, Jr. Rehder
Hardcover: 240 pages  
Publisher: Banks Channel Books; (March 1997) 
ISBN: 0963596799

Hi powerpop -

I know how you feel.  Not long ago, I just had to have an out-of-print
book that I had lost and just by luck found the daughter of the author
who just happened to have a few copies on hand.

The web search I did on your behalf revealed that book sites were out
of stock. The best amazon. com could do, for example, was accept an
order in case they came across a used copy.

However, I did have some luck with Banks Channel Books.  I telephoned
them and was assured that you can telephone on Monday September 9,
2002, to place an order for  "Growing a Beautiful Garden: A Landscape
Guide for the Coastal Carolinas" by Henry, Jr. Rehder.

The telephone number of Banks Channel Books  is (910)762-4677.  The
email address is bankschan@aol.com.  I was told that although you can
place an order on Monday, the book  won't be coming in until the
middle of the week.

Good luck with getting your book and with your garden.

Ordered the book yesterday, thank you.  It turned out to be an easy
one I guess.  I've been searching for close to a year, and now that I
put the question to Google, here comes a new pressing of the book. 
But, I'll have the book before it hits the stores, and in my Mom's
hands in time for her birthday!

I haven't been able to locate a copy of this book.

You might want to go on the "wish list" at Half.com (a division of
Ebay.) They will notify you if a used copy becomes available. This
works quite well; I have located three out of four books that I've put
on the wish list in the last year.

Amazon.com also lists this book and allows you to add yourself to a
waiting list for a used copy.

Good luck!  I hope you are able to obtain a copy quickly.  This looks
like a very highly rated book from the Amazon reviews it has received.

Because their inventory fluctuates rapidly, they will be unable to
confirm stock until an order is placed.  If they are unable to fulfill
your order, you will not be billed.

Good luck!
