Textbooks needed!

[Julie Gierke <jgierke@LUTHERSOUTH.COM>]

Dear colleagues,

    I know this isn't very germane to our discussions, but I am getting
desperate for help!  In addition to the media center, I am in charge of
the bookstore (as well as other things too numerous to mention!) and we
have run into a snag.  Does anyone know where to find cheap (or free!)
English textbooks.  Long story short, the English department changed
curriculum, and for one year (the transition!) we are teaching American
Literature to two classes.  We have enough books for the sophomores, but
need about 30-40 more for the juniors.  I am looking for the Prentice
Hall series "The American Experience", 1991 copyright, with ISBN number
0136917186.  My last resort is to buy them from Follett, but we can't
afford to pay so much money ($900-$1200) for a single year's problem.  I
would be really happy even just to get them on loan for the year.
    If you know of anyone who has them sitting around in a warehouse, or
a cheap place to call, please let me know.  I've already tried some
surrounding schools here in Chicago, as well as our state relocation
program with no luck.  Please reply to me privately.  Thanks a million!
