First Time That Has Happened To Me

[debka_notion]

A Professor wants me to get a book that's (recently) out of print, off the internet. He wants us to get it Now, as it will be used fairly early in the course. I'm not entirely sure I'm taking the class- I know nothing about this professor otherwise, or whether or not the course will be at all interesting, although it does look like something that I should take, considering that I may occasionally want to use assorted Jewish texts as materials discussing how people actually behaved/lived during assorted time periods. But if it seems lousy, I don't want to have to buy something random offline, partially because I've never done that before. The class only meets once a week, on Wednesdays, so it'll be a while until I have it, and I'm trying out a bunch of classes, although this one seems quite useful, probably. So- eep. Do I buy it or not? Probably, it might be a useful book anyways. So- wish me luck...

If you'd like, I can get it for you using my ebay account and you can pay me back. What's the title and author of the book?

You've never bought anything online?! Oh, it's a beautiful thing, the world of internet shopping. You can find things much cheaper, and they come to your door. I'm a PRO at it.

How recently out of print? How many copies are still available and how many students are in the class? If the former is larger than the latter, buy all the copies online. Then sell them at a profit and keep one for yourself.

Fairly recently out of print- I think the copyright date was 1993... And plenty of copies, I think. In fact, I do believe that the professor checked first. So no profiteering possibilities.
