Thank you, Dan, for your courteous reply.  

(Yes, I realize I mistyped entitled for titled as one member of this list serve was quick to point out.)      

This is my first post and I am a bit hesitant to enter the fray. 
I realize I gave you little to go on and will supply more details when I am back in my office tomorrow.

Meanwhile, best wishes.

Julie:

I am happy to make some recommendations, but it would be helpful if we
had some more info on your needs: what is the background & skill level
of your students? what are the pedagogical goals for the class? what
content areas are you looking to cover?

Also, many bookstores (at least in the US) will photo-copy
out-of-print texts for classes like yours. They just need to get
copyright permissions and possibly pay royalties.
