I can also highly recommend Worldwide Books. The University of Maryland Art
Library has had a very successful approval plan with them for many years.
They also have a great web site (www.worldwide.com) which makes verification
and ordering additional items very easy.  Brian Gold, the Director, is a
great source of information and the customer service he provides is the best
in the business!
