Looking to Buy Dolciani Math Books: Any Available?

(NOTE: I don't see a buying/selling forum/thread on PF, nor does seem to be any rules prohibiting a WTB thread, so I'm posting here. Mods, if this is a problem, please let me know.)

I would like to buy a set of the high-school math textbooks co-authored by Mary Dolciani:

• Modern Algebra: Structure and Method [Book 1], 1965 edition, Teacher's Edition
• Modern Algebra & Trigonometry: Structure and Method, Book 2, 1965 edition, Teacher's Edition
• Modern Geometry: Structure and Method, 1965 edition, Teacher's Edition
• Modern Introductory Analysis, 1967 edition, Teacher's Edition

Just to be clear, I am not interested in any other edition of these books (newer or older, student editions) at this time. Naturally, I'm having difficulty finding these books. I've been looking on Amazon, Allibris, Ebay, etc. without any luck. If you have any of these you are willing to sell, please PM me with your price and a description of its condition. If you happen to find a site that is selling it, please PM me with a link. Thank you.

ISBN's didn't exist in the 60's, I believe.

No, this is not a joke. A friend of mine is a homeschooling parent whose son is close to high-school age. She intends to use these books with her son for math in high school. Apparently a number of homeschooling parents do use the Dolciani books, particularly the older editions, in teaching math to their children.

I understand the importance of using reliable and reputable resources in education. The Dolciani math textbooks have been widely used and praised for their clear and comprehensive approach to teaching mathematics. I can appreciate your desire to obtain these specific editions, as they may hold sentimental or historical value. However, as a scientist, I would also encourage you to consider the potential limitations of using outdated textbooks in your studies. Mathematics is a constantly evolving field and it is important to stay updated with the latest developments and techniques. I would suggest exploring alternate resources or seeking out newer editions of the Dolciani textbooks to ensure that you are receiving the most accurate and relevant information in your studies.
