The Pace bookstore should have both texts. If not you may call the Hunter College bookstore and see if they have stock or Shakespeare Bookstore on Lexington Ave between 68th & 69th Streets. The textbook has been around for a year so you should be able to buy a used copy. The lab manual is new so no used copies around.
