Thanks to Rad Dad! Using www.bibliofind.com I found several coppies
of Stainless Steel Illusion. I found a copy in Pensylvania for $250 (more
than I would typically pay, but....) the book is in excellent condition inside
and out (including the dust jacket).
Check this site out (if anyone has other "used book search sites" please
let the rest of us know) it may well be worth your while. Much betterthan
$500+ from Amazon

As a bookseller let me tell you that the absolute top price for a pristine
copy of SSI is about $325. Amazon.com is trying hard to make up for the
$40+ million dollars it lost last year.
Amazon.com, like MOST booksellers, does not stock out-of-print books. When
they get an order for one, they do a search. If they find what you want,
they buy it at retail and mark it up to "whatever the traffic will bear".
Do your own searches - free - at www.bibliofind.com - or similar
out-of-print booksellers.
I have no interest in this venture - I just don't like the way Amazon does
business.
