Looking for a book

Does anyone know where I can find a copy of Borges' "The Book of Sand" for pretty cheap? It is OOP and all I can find is around $50. I'd rather not pay that much if possible - I know lots of you people have superior internet skills, so if anyone can find a copy for less than that, I'd appreciate it - I'd rather pay less than $30, but the cheaper the better. I've read it before, and would like to use some of the stories from it in a research paper.

It's in "Collected Fictions," cover price is $16.95.

This is a big omnibus volume collecting most, if not all, of Borges' short stories. Just to make sure it's what you're looking for, the stories in the "Book of Sand" section are (these are from my own copy of the book...):

The Other
Ulrikke
The Congress
There Are More Things
The Sect of the Thirty
The Night of the Gifts
The Mirror and the Mask
"Undr"
A Weary Man's Utopia
The Bribe
Avelino Arrenondo
The Disk
The Book of Sand


Here's the Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0140286802

Blade beat me to the half.com bargain (via Bookfinder)!

There is also an interesting site here.

I saw this one - but 1st of all I was very suspicious about a $4 book that I couldn't find elsewhere for less than 40 and going up to $400 or so. 2nd - it was already sold
