I was able to obtain volumes 1 through 8 at great price reductions from
BMG, which thereafter no longer offered the later volumes.  W/ resources
somewhat reduced by virtue of retirement and stock market losses, and
as a natural cheap skate, I balk at paying list price for CDs and even
aside from all this, I haven't seen any of the remaining existing volumes
offered for sale.

Does anyone here know of a source (even at list price) for any of the
later volumes?
