A good place to look for technical textbooks

[darthsidious]

There's a particular out of print textbook I've been looking for, which is out of print. I've tried searching amazon, ebay and abebooks.com, but I've had no success. Does anyone have any suggestions for other places to try?

I guess this thread could be useful to other students looking to buy obscure books too...

The book I'm looking for: I. Csiszar and j. Korner, Information Theory, Coding Theorems for Discrete Memoryless Systems.

Thanks in advance.

If it's good it might be in the ACM or IEEE online libraries.

If you just need to read it instead of own it, your college library could request it for you (if you've graduated, many schools allow library use with alumni association membership).

College libraries ftw!

Give Powells a try

It appears your best chance is with the 2004 version or at a library.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys.

I think the 2004 version is a different textbook.
