My apologies, I am used to another style of email list. I take it here the newest post is last? As for the lack of clarity, I was on the phone and typing at the same time. If I recall correctly, the one of the Barnes and Noble stores in my area had a copy of both "The Sun, the Moon, and the Stars", as well as "Brokedown Palace". I can not be absolutely certain, as I already have both and was just scanning the shelves. As far as the cost, I don't recall, but my wife was a former employee and was able to poll a large source list, and was sometimes able to find out of print books. Also, if a store has a copy, they will transfer it to your local store. Jeff
