Yes the net sure does what it is intented to originally do, provide information for all to use and find. For old and rare books I tend to head to Abe Books. I recently bought both volumes of Clarissa and the Countryman after Clarissa Dickson Wright recently passed away. The books are beautiful hard bound volumes that cost a dollar each with total of 12 dollars shipping from England. Best of luck on your searches and give Abe Books a try. Im sure it was quite a thrill to find a signed copy, well done.
