Out-of-Print Books
Finding Out-Of-Print GSA Publications
When looking for out-of-print publications, it helps if you have the ISBN (International Standard Book Number) or, for older books, the LOC (Library of Congress catalog number). If you are searching for an out-of-print GSA book and do not have either of those references, E-mail gsaservice@geosociety.org, giving: title, or as much of it as you know ... senior author ... and the year you think it was published. We will search our database and send you the necessary information.
The GSA search page will help you locate articles from our journals and abstracts archive. You can also search in-print books through the bookstore search or the in-depth GoogleBooks search (also in the bookstore sidebar).
