Fortuitous book find!
I just found this reprint of all five volumes of Francis J. Child's English and Scottish Popular Ballads (which is out of stock with the publisher) for $63 at amazon.
I have been wanting my own set for years, but old editions of the full set (which used to be all that was available) sell for upwards of $500. So I am ecstatic about this discovery; particularly since I'll be using this as a reference both for my dissertation and for my archiving job.
Hooray for Dover and its cheap reprints! Hooray for Amazon and its (sometimes) low prices!

P.S. If you want your own set, you'd better hurry: there are only three left!
