The last price I heard was also not bad (official retail price: $14.95 for a piece of history :-) The Spring/Summer Guide by Amazing gives the following address for Infocom: 3885 Bohannon Dr. Menlo Park, CA 94025 (415) 329-0800 (415) 322-0600 You might also check for the address of some group called Westwood Associates, as they were involved in some arrangement with Infocom for providing screens to accompany adventure games. Finally, your best bet is to call one of the reliable AND older mail order places to see if they have any in stock. Just remember the official retail price; I bet you could pick a very good 'mail order' price. Good luck. -- Ken Steele Dept. of Psychology kms@ecsvax.bitnet Mars Hill College kms@ecsvax.uncecs.edu Mars Hill, NC 28754 {some big name site}!mcnc!ecsvax!kms
