Or a lot extra: amazon.com often charges very high prices for out of print
books.  Try www.mxbf.com or www.bibliofind.com first.  I've used the
former myself, and found it very helpful; it automatically connects you to
a number of electronic book search services, including amazon.com (when I
used it last).
