The *OED* is much cheaper if you get it as a new subscription offer with the 
Book-of-the-Month Club for <$30 including shipping (and if you're not much
interested in belonging to BoMC, you can fulfill the book agreement without
spending too much--I made it for less than the price of an *OED* in a store). 
Offers to join BoMC with the *OED* choice can usually be found in magazines like
The New Yorker or The New York Review of Books.  (If you've given up hope of
ever finding one, I've got a lot of back issues and could send you a page.)

A friend of a friend had a copy of the *OED* on microfiche.  Does anybody know
about how to obtain such, how much it costs, and so forth?
