Message:: [QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1554129, member: 66"]Maybe, but I've got to try. The Redbook is great, but don't use it for prices.  They are probably even less accurate than numismedia. Really?  I've never heard of a public library that charged just to use the library.  Most are county libraries and anyone who lives in the county can use them for free.  I could see a charge for withdraw priviledges from someone who lives outside the county ($300 is ridiculous though.), but I've never seen ANY librarian come up and demand proof of ownership of a library card from someone who simply comes in and looks at the books there without checking them out. In most cases you shouldn't even have to ask.  Most libraries I've seen have open stacks (Except for the Rare Books area) and you can just walk into them and find the book yourself.  It will be in the Nonfiction stacks in the 737 section. OK so you can use the library.  Forget the other things I said about the libraries then and go get the information you wanted.  On the other hand if you live as far from the Library as you say and you wind up needing to make a second trip to get other information some other day, you will have spent more on gas than on simply buying your own copy that you can refer to as often as you like.  And you WILL refer to it again and again.[/QUOTE]
