Dan Malleck: If you search for Slaying the Dragon at www.bookfinder.com (which searches several used book sites at once), you will find a copy for sale for $20 at Dailey Rare Books in Los Angeles. I hope it's still available! If not, you can always check bookfinder every few days. -- Jessy At 07:53 AM 4/21/2000 -0400, you wrote: >Two quick questions. >Does anyone know how I can get my hands on a copy of Bill White's _Slaying >the Dragon_ relatively quickly?
