I have to agree. I've just replied to an off-list email making a similar comment regarding HANZAB at the current discount pricing. It does seem to be of questionable value accumulating a stack out of date volumes at $30-40 each when the money spent would cover a substantial portion of the cost of a volume of HANZAB.

I love http://www.bookfinder.com/ because it has excellent coverage,
including indirect coverage via Abebooks, Alibris, Books&Collectibles,
... and shows you the combined cost of the book+shipping to Australia.

As to the original question I'd say saving up for HANZAB is the first
reference library priority (Andrew Isles has HANZAB discounts at present).

Allan Richards to the whole list]
