Finding A Book
 
After a long rest I decided to go ahead and read a book, I chose a Babylon 5 book series, The Long Night of Centuri Prime (Babylon 5: Legions of Fire, Book 1), and Armies of Light and Dark (Babylon 5 Legions of Fire, Book 2). Now here comes an interesting and perplexing problem. It would seem that for some reason the availablity of Out of the Darkness (Babylon 5: Legions of Fire, Book 3) is extremely limited. In fact it is so rare it might as well be GOLD. The average price for this book is $50.00 and that is for a paper back version. Not even Del Ray books has a listing for it and they are the book publisher.

I don't understand why this book is so hard to find, and because it is so hard to find, costs so much. Not even the library system around here has a copy any more. Not even the library system in Oregon has one.

I could understand this if the book just came out, and is in hard cover only, but it was published in 2001 and was in paper back.

None of the on line book retailers have it, say for the ones wanting $50.00 for it. No local book store has it, and no one that I know has it. I say to you, WTF?

I guess I wasted my time reading the other two books of this series. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Is this what you're looking for?

It's a Canadian site, but I'm sure they'll take your funny American money http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Shipping might be a little steep though, I'm not sure. But hey, $9.99 CDN isn't a bad deal.

Hope it's what you're looking for.

EDIT: Oops. The one I linked to says "Temporarily Unavailable to Order". All the rest are highly priced. [censored]. Sorry. Might be worthwhile though to keep an eye on it, see if it does become "Available" to order sometime. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/Injured.gif

Yes that is the book. I am not surprised that it is out of stock there as well. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif Must have been a very popular book or rather not a very popular book. One of the two.

Thanks though. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Well I found it at a Amazon.UK, but its going to cost me $30.00 to get it. I went ahead and placed the order so we will see what happens now.

(A month from now a squad of trigger happy men dressed in black, high on adrenilin, with impressive military style assualt rifles raid my home and beat me into submission while I am sleeping at 4am on some idle sunday morning, yelling "Terrorist!)
