Based on what I know, Books in Print is only available electronically on a cost
metered basis--usually $24 per hour. The source I us is Knowledge Index, a
nighttime, weekend subset <called Book1> of DIALOG. One handy place to get it is
Compuserve <GO KI>, where you have to be a member.
Electronic BIP is also available on CD-Rom, probably in one or more library
reference rooms on the harvard Campus.

Books in Print is a commercial product which is (as far as I know)
available, as a multivolume book, on microfiche, and as a CD-ROM. All of
these cost money.
If you're looking for free info via the Internet, you'll have to settle for
the Library of Congress records. The LOC's holdings of course are mostly
comprised of out-of-print volumes, but the catalog does tell you everything
you need to know to order an in-print book (except for the street address
of the publishers, which is in BOP, and which you normally don't actually
need anyway.) You can telnet to the LOC's catalog server at the address
"locis.loc.gov"--- or you can probably use the Harvard library server (or
some other major university's library server) as a gateway to the LOC.

What about that film 15-20 years ago, about a group of young people in the
sixties who celebrate leaving high school? I think it was called "American
graffiti", but I am not certain; the Swedish title was different.
