We knew Derann has closed down. But apparently Derann's previous website (not the recently launched) is still available online: http://derannlists.co.uk/derann/super8mm.php

Also through Dada mail server, all old newsletters are still available online, so whoever wants to know what is Derann's price for second hand of particular title can search through Dada mail server with the help of google.

On google website type on search box:

"[name of title]" site:http://derannlists.co.uk

for example (use quote and unquote mark to search only that title) "Christmas Carol" will come to this result:

Searching Derann list throguh google

Enjoy.... [Wink]

ps: this will only be available until contract of the server expired, which I don't know when it will be.

Joerg, I knew the Archive machine above, but this website cannot perform searching for a particular title, even with the google's help.

It is almost impossible to read hundreds of newsletter for a title.

This is probably what you are looking for -

Derann Archive Newsletters

This site has a "search facility".

Yes that is exactly I was saying, Keith.

Only if we are searching using Dada search engine, it doesn't recognize Boolean rules, resulting (eg) "Sound of Mus*" is attaining zero result. While through google, it still gets results.

Boolean rules are helping us if we do not really remember the title, or want only to find specific title (using "....") and many other rules, that include "and", "or", "without", etc. etc
