Hi all,
So I've been searching for a copy of the Descriptive Bibliography from 1993 (Hammond and Anderson), which I believe is out of print, right?
I get the feeling at this point that I may be waiting a long (long) time to see one appear for sale
If my pessimism (nasty word) is warranted, I'd be interested to know if the Companion and Guide by Christina Scull and Wayne Hammond contains (even to a modest extent) the kind of bibliographical detail which I understand is found in the out of print work?
Thanks in advance for any pointers!

Yes, the Descriptive Bibliography is out of print. There were 4 impressions issued, so if you're not picky about getting a 1st you might be able to find one sooner.
The Companion and Guide does have a checklist of published writings starting on Pg. 1463-1548 of the 2nd edition, about 90 pages of material. But it's not nearly as detailed or extensive as the stand alone Descriptive Bibliography. I have included an image of the table of contents of my copy for reference.
