Buying classical editions of textbooks

[thrill3rnit3]

I was just wondering if and where I can buy classical editions of certain textbooks.

eg. I want to get George B. Thomas's Calculus, but I want the classical 2nd edition.

Amazon only has the latest edition(s), and I don't want those.

anyone?

There are booksellers who specialize in old, out-of-print books. Usually (for obvious reasons) they tend to cater to the collectors of $$$$ books, not people who want old used textbooks. You might also try to search for libraries that are de-acquisitioning out-dated texts to see what they have for sale.

Do you know specific company names of such booksellers?

www.powells.com may have what you want.

If anyone here has read the GBT Jr Calculus series, which edition would be the best one?
