I wish I could find a cheap source for them!  (or the original TEX files...  I
think he should release all of them to the public domain, though I suspect some
publisher still holds the rights...)

He is still, apparently, working on the fourth volume though, so when(if) it
comes out I imagine there will be a reprinting of all of them.

My local school library has the first one, but not the other two  <sigh>, but
occasionally you'll see them on ebay and at other places.
