I was planning on posting a note about a really great book-searching
library computer system (the Illinois Library Computer System, which has
all books in all libraries in the state of Illinois). This way I can
combine it with an answer to your question, and a demonstration of how
to use it (at least a partial one). I can give a few more commands if
anyone's interested.

(Also, if you choose the holdings for a book, you can "back up" to the
list of books by typing "re", for "return" or "recall" or something like
that. When you have a number of books (say "20 bibliographic records")
you can list them by typing "s 1-5" or whatever -- then "s" specific ones
to get full bibliographic information.)
(If you're at a college in Illinois, you can use this computer system to
check out any book at any other college library directly and have it
immediately sent to you. Take that, MELVYL!)
Marian Cockrell, _Shadow Castle_ (New York: Whittlesey House
[McGraw-Hill Book Co.], 1945).
Happy hunting!
