I am trying to find and purchase a copy of the out-of-print book "The
Driver" by Garet Garrett (I believe that its initial publication was
in 1922). A successful answer is one that points me to the exact
location where a physical copy of this book is currently available for
purchase by me (meaning no backorders or search services, etc).
Thanks!

Hi --

Just wanted to let you know that I've been working on this, and
haven't yet found a copy of this particular book. Do you know if it
was ever collected with any of Garrett's other works?

Thanks for your request for clarification and for taking the time to
work on this question. "The Driver" was published as a book and it was
also apparently serialized in the Saturday Evening Post, but beyond
that, as far as I am aware, it was never part of a collection with
other works. But, if you can find this book as part of a collected
text or the complete Saturday Evening Post serialization available for
purchase by me, I would consider that to be more than an acceptable
answer. Thanks!

Hello -

I believe I have found someone who has a copy of The Driver by Garet
Garrett. I emailed him to clarify that we were talking about the exact
same book, per the Library of Congress details below, as well as the
Saturday Evening post clarification. He says we are talking about the
exact same book, and is going to go find it on one of his bookshelves
tonight.

He is willing to sell it for $25 plus shipping. Is this agreeable to
you? If it is, please state so and I will provide information about
where you can obtain this copy from this seller in my formal answer on
Google.

I will then email the seller and tell him that you will be contacting
him. You will then be responsible for contacting the seller and
arranging payment/shipping details.

If this agreeable, please state so and we can move forward.

rippo-ga, that sounds most excellent! Yes, let us proceed as you
suggest. If it turns out that I am indeed able to purchase and obtain
the book from this person for that price, that would be a most
satisfying answer to my initial question. Thank you.
