Need help finding a Clockwork Orange edition
Not sure if this is the right thread, but looks close enough...
My girlfriend wants a copy of [i]A Clockwork Orange[/i]. Easy enough, right? Nope. It's her favorite book, wrote her dissertation on it, yadda yadda, and she wants the edition without the final chapter. Copies published in America before 1986 (I think) didn't include the last chapter (which is weird, considering it's all, like, redeeming and shit).
With Christmas coming up I think it'll make a great gift. She mentioned in passing that she really only wants it as a collectors' item. Now, before I start calling up bookstores and asking people for it and then getting into run-around conversations about how they do have the book, they'll just go count the chapters real quick (or something), I figured, let's turn to THE CULT.
So, any help/guidance/people willing to part with copies for a price that won't make me turn tricks?

It's like a rare books version of Amazon that has a university library style search engine.
I believe there was a movie tie in edition that had Malcolm Mcdowell on the cover that didn't have the extra chapter and would be pretty cool for a super fan to have (I may be remembering this incorrectly, though).
