Dien,

I've been trying to do the second approach you've mentioned and I am curious. Did you buy the book knowing it was rare? How did you find out only 500 copies were ever printed? I would like to develop a list/database of rare, out of print, in demand books, etc. So that when I am out "hunting" for bargains to resell I will be better prepared. I'm not sure where to begin. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Ken
