--------old post below--------

can someone with an ebay account do a search under completed items for "tale of two cities burts"? I tried registering but I don't even have a credit card

if you're lazy, this link should take you to the right page.

I'm looking for the year a certain book was published and I can't find it anywhere on the book... hardback classics were only $1 a piece back then though. I already tried google.

That's got to be from the 1910s or 1920s.

Sorry, no-can-do. I'm holding out for a batch of chocolate chip cookies, and a glass of tang. When you deliver said cookies and tang, I shall return your book to you, in slightly-worse condition than when you last saw it.
