Greetings, Linda...

 Linda Proulx hastily said to Murray Lesser:

 ML>> either you get a good textbook about OS/2, or (better yet) install it,

 LP> Nothing found in the used book stores yet.

You could ask your friend to have a look at http://www.door2net.com/half-price 
(Half Price Computer Books).  They tend to have a lot of the "older" books at
really good prices.
As an example, I bought a copy of "Oracle How-To" for $24.99 (special special) 
which is marked on the back cover as $70.99 (Cdn).  They would normally sell
this one for around $35.

A copy of OS/2 Warp Unleashed Deluxe Edition should go for about $27 Cdn at
their regular pricing, possibly less on special. (Mine is marked $39.99 US,
$53.99 Cdn).

 I don't know for sure if they have a physical presence in Winnipeg, but they
don't charge for shipping anywhere in Canada (or the US, either, for that
matter) except for the "specials" like the one above.

The last time I was in the store in Richmond (BC), they had about five
different OS/2 books, including "Unleashed".
