I found a couple of Donald Chittick's books on thriftbooks.com and ordered them both: The Puzzle of Ancient Man and The Controversy: Roots of the Creation-Evolution Conflict. Pretty cheap at less than $9 for the pair.
Man, were I in the habit of buying books via the internet, I'd probably go broke (in terms of cash), fast! Not that it's expensive to obtain books that way, but, rather, just because it's so remarkably inexpensive and easy, I'd likely have a struggle trying to refrain from gorging myself to dissipation, having the temptation and ability, with just a few clicks or keystrokes, to obtain a copy of just about any book I could consider wanting to obtain. I've had pretty good success over the years, though, touring various second-hand stores in my vicinity on a somewhat regular basis; lot's of really sweet successes at finding, both, books I had been wanting to get my hands on, as well as books I, perhaps, hadn't heard of before, but which turned out to be top-notch discoveries. Also, many times at thrift stores I've been pleased to find hard copies (whether actual antique volumes, or recent reprints) of many of the "public domain", "antiquarian" books I had already come to admire through Google Books, Archive.org, etc. It's always nice to have the actual book, rather than just a scanned PDF copy--although, I have to confess that, even though it's been over a decade since I first discovered the availability of PDF copies of old volumes on the internet, I've scarcely lost any of the admiration--nay, near giddiness--I first had upon this discovery.
