Looking for "The Killing Star"

[lostmonster]

Hi; I'm Cory and I'm new to this forum. I was looking for a good and active book forum in which I could satisfy my book discussion, seeing as I don't really get this chance that often any other time.

I'm looking for this sci fi book titled The Killing Star written by two guys by the names of Charles Pellegrino and George Zebrowski. It's out of print and I don't want to pay 600 dollars for a copy.

Anyone know of any online used bookstore (or online copy in .pdf format) that might have it for any cheaper than this?

I've tried purchasing that copy. The almighty internet tells me that it has already been sold.

Sorry to hear it.

Thanks; however, I don't want to pay that much for it. But, it looks like I don't have a choice.

UGH! Someone JUST bought that copy (probably through this link you provided). Thanks for exposing me to this website, though; your help wasn't in vein.

That sucks man.

FWIW, this is the link I used for your search: http://www.addall.com/used

I see that it looks like the Amazon copies are all gone now.

Yeah. I'll continue searching every day for a cheap copy, though.

Lostmonster, I sent you a PM regarding this book. Hope it helps.

Did you ever end up finding a copy?

I found one for $40 and ordered it. It arrived yesterday and it will be the next book I read.

I do feel a little foolish for spending $40 on a used trade paperback but it is a rare book so I guess I'm OK with that.

Abe books has it for 75.00

I can't wait to read it. Looks like a quick read.

Every time I check out a site or "other" places about books I am "sc.." I always end up adding another book to the pile!

 

[sparkchaser]

Me too Libra. Me too.

I sent lostmonster a PM with links showing a price of five dollars; he PMed his thanks so I assume he ordered it.

I found one for $40 and ordered it.

I guess I should have sent you a PM with lower price quotes, too.

 

[sparkchaser]

Where was the book for $5? More importantly, I'm interested in how you located one so cheap.

The $5 price is what lostmonster said in his pm - I don't know which bookseller he purchased from.

Here are three book search sites that I use.
