Looking for a special gift for my niece who will be celebrating her Sweet Sixteen at the end of the month. I just learned that her favorite Golden Book, "Mr. Bell's Fixit Shop" was damaged by too much reading by her little brother

. . . she really would like a copy, but it is out of print and I am having a bit of a problem finding a used copy . . . thought I would check to see if any of you have a copy on a shelf collecting dust - just a thought

Thanks!!

Forget the book. Be a cool aunt and get her an ipod nano http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/

Thanks Dork - I've been checking Google, but not sure I trust some of the sites . . . but, I'll keep looking - again, thanks:)

. . . and, Spanky - I'm already a cool aunt, so no need to buy her affection

I think for $2.95 it's worth a gamble...

MrsG. check amazon if you are wary of the other site. There are 6 used copies available ranging from $1.29 to $25.00 in acceptable to very good condition. While these books are sold by individual sellers, all billing is done through Amazon. I have had good experience buying used books through amazon.

Here is the link:

Thanks D - I tried Amazon.com for over an hour using several different entries and could not find anything - appreciate your effort - I'll check it out

Dork - the $2.95 . . . or more for that matter, did not bother me - it was giving my info to them that was my concern - but thanks

. . . and Stormchaser - you just make me laugh

. . . but I'll let her know when we go celebrate her Birthday in Chicago at the end of the month
