Purchasing
The major book sellers on line, such as Amazon.com [L2 ], Barnes & Noble, etc. sell the above titles that are in print. Other smaller sites, such as http://fatbrain.com/ and so forth carry many of these and offer significant discounts. Sites like http://www.half.com/ (or its parent http://www.ebay.com/ ) , Yahoo, etc. often have links to used book dealers, auctioning resources, etc. which also can be sources for books.

VL 14 jun 2003: I might mention http://www.addall.com/used/ here, searching many used bookstores online, then there is the different associations for used books dealers, depending on your location and interest there are many many more to mention.

Lending
Just a reminder that you might find local public or university libraries carrying some of the above as well.
