Amazon's got *A Homemade World* used for about $12.  I've found the  
Amazon used service to be about as good as Bookfinder, typically.   
I'm particularly fond of a store called Better World Books, which  
shows up frequently among the used booksellers on Amazon.  Here's  
there main storefront:

I'm sure not parting with my copy of *A Homemade World*!  But good  
luck, Jeff!

I remember snoozing off regularly during *A Pound Era*, but that has  
more to do with my feelings toward Pound than Kenner, who is a  
wonderful critic.  *A Homemade World*, in contrast, was one of my  
Bibles during grad school.
