Let me also quote from the GENUKI/Devon FAQ (Frequently asked Questions) List:

>14. How can I find more about the citation <?????> in GENUKI/Devon?

>The thousands of citations to books and articles given in

> http://www.bibliofind.com/
> http://www.bookfinder.com/

Though I do occasionally buy other types of items from e-Bay, I've
found the above sources very useful.

Cheers
