Where can I buy In Search of the Castaways, The Children of Captain Grant by Jules Verne?
I need this to not be an audio book or a collector's edition or other expensive option. I have tried Amazon, eBay, Overstock. Please give me ideas or hard leads - I want to give it to my niece for her birthday as part of a trilogy (Chidren of Captain Grant, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea and The Mysterious Island).
Thanks in advance!
Following a link provided by ll2 I came to the conclusion that "In Search of the Castaways; Volume 4" refers to the book being 4th in a series of books published together as a collection of Jules Verne's works, so I'm not hesitant to buy it now. Thank you, ll2!
It is amazing for me that while this book is widely available in Europe here it is so difficult to find. I'll tell my parents to not give away the copy in their home library!
Unless you want to order a book on demand or have it printed yourself (the Gutenberg Project has the text available for free on the web), the least expensive copy I have found is a 1911 printing contained in volume 4 of "The Works of Jules Verne." The cheapest is $38.00 and they go up from that. Really, until this is reprinted by a major publisher, this doesn't seem like that bad of a price, considering that the next cheapest option is a paperback reprint that had a 1 star review on amazon because it didn't have illustrations and looked like a Microsoft manual!
Here are some for sale at abebooks.com:

You can see what you'll get on this ebay auction (of course the above links are only for the single volume 4): http://cgi.ebay.com/Rare-1911-15-vol-set-The-Works-of-Jules-Verne_W0QQitemZ120077503154QQihZ002QQcategoryZ29223QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Also, I discovered that the book was also published in 3 volumes under the title "A Voyage Round the World" in the 1870's - 1880's. One volume was South America, one was Australia, and one New Zealand. Many of the booksellers I saw didn't specify that you only receive one volume, so be careful if you go with this option and make sure you get everything you think you are buying.
Finally, also check for "Captain Grant's Children" as a possible title -- I'm not sure what you'll wind up with, but I saw some references to that in my searching.
I would have liked to be able to spend more time on this question as it intrigues me, but I have too much to do today. 
I hope this helps!
