Sasharowan Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 My ds8 just finished The Magic Umbrella by David Cory and wants to read more in the series. It was published in 1923. I am not finding much in my budget on Amazon or half.com. There aren't any in my library system or Interlibrary Loan. Are there any other websites that are good for finding older books? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElizabethB Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 You can also find a lot online on Google books and try a few pages out online and then print them out if they're a go. You have to download them first to be able to print them. Also, if you're ever in the NJ area, that's where I've found old books the cheapest. They are hard to find in areas like Arkansas and Florida, the heat and humidity is hard on books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is your budget? Looking for a list of books in the series, I used the search term "little journeys to happyland," which is at the bottom of The Magic Umbrella in a picture on Amazon. http://c.web.umkc.edu/crossonm/littlejourneystohappyland.htm So it looks like the books are: The Cruise of the Noah's Ark (there's a used copy at Amazon for $2.35 + $3.99 shipping) The Magic Soap Bubble (Amazon - $2.60 + $3.99 shipping) The Iceberg Express (Amazon- $3.45 + $3.99 shipping) The Wind Wagon (abebooks-$1.66 + $3.95 shipping) The Magic Umbrella Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasharowan Posted June 10, 2009 Author Share Posted June 10, 2009 Thank you, Roughcollie. I was able to find several on the sites posted. Now to find room in my budget for them :) ElizabethB, my sister is in NYC and is checking some of the stores there. Hopefully she'll have some luck. Thank you.
