Dear all,
I'm looking for a book named "Digital Processing of speech
signal" by Rabiner & another guy, but unluckily it is out of print. Does
anyone know where I could buy it?
Thanks in advance.

It's right on Amazon. You can get it used, too. That's what I recommend.
I just bought that Kernighan & Ritchie C book on Amazon used for half of the
$45 it costs new, and it's in great shape.

I think that C book has been in print since before I was born and the thin
paperback still sells for $45. Kernighan and Ritchie may not have made a
fortune at Bell Labs, but they have to be living the high life in the
Carribbean with all the royalties they've made from that book.

All are associated with many independent booksellers and have access to
their inventory lists. All allow you to enter a "want" and be emailed
without obligation when it is found.

Hi,

my guess, and it's only a guess, is that
they made roughly $2.50 in the sale of each copy
of their book.

I'm wondering how many copies were sold.

I've tried, but something went wrong with the shipping, I mean, maybe
they refuse to deliver the book because I gave an adress in italy?

Anyway thanks a lot!

Thank you very much!

Yeah, I guess shipping to Italy could be a problem if the shipper is here in
the US.

Hi,

www.amazon.co.uk has it.

Within the EU you should not have problems with shipping and customs.

Jerry! What happened to your .sig? Or did I miss when it changed?

Peter,

That was a one-off that occurred to me on an appropriate occasion. I'm
feeling better now, thank you.

Nice idea: I'll try; thanks.

A guess, based on anecdotal evidence of a popular Pascal book
selling 500,000. 300,000 to 700,000, with the probability
distribution having a much longer tail at the high end.
