If anyone wants to find a copy of this book, or any other out-of-print book
for that matter, go to
http://www.abebooks.com and use their search function. This is the Advanced
Book Exchange, a database of the holdings of hundreds of used book sellers
around the world. I looked for "Kings of the Road", and more than 20 copies
were found, ranging in price from about $10 to $90. The abe web site just
happens to be based in my town.....
