Why don't you try and get in touch with BMUG, the Berkeley Macintosh
User Group. During my recent visit to the States, I purchased the
entire PD Disk set (containing 58 doublesided disk, costing $155 (!)),
which includes something like 7 disks containing pictures (and some
5 more containing graphics utilities). These pictures include some
very nice stuff and the price is amazingly low (less than $3 per ds disk!).

Althoug you're quite a long way away from Berkeley, it might be worth the call.
Tel# (415)- uhm. can't find the MacWorld June issue... It's in there,
somewhere on the 'tips' pages.

While I'm on the subject (?), I also bought The Macintosh Bible ($21)
while I was in San Francisco. I seldomly have seen such a useful book!
It contains lots of tips regarding Mac software, printer usage, general
tips, you name it, that book got it. Even tips in Word 3.0 (so pretty
up-to-date). The buyer is entitled to two updates (by sending a letter to
the publisher) that are free! Absolutely top value!
