You should visit their likely source, WorldCat, which is a combined library catalog for a large percentage of the libraries in the US (some international representation there too). http://www.worldcat.org/search This isn't advisable if you are one of 1000 students taking a basic lit class, but if you're one of 30 adults from the region taking a business management course, you may well find that this works for you. Be advised that your library can't control how long you get to borrow the book - it will depend on the rules established by the library that owns the item.

Of course I was the ILL librarian, so I wasn't annoying anyone :) Your local library may be able to get not-new versions of your text books via Inter Library Loan.
