I ran across a listing which indicates the book is rare because "Only four copies located by OCPC". I have no idea what that is, and googling it hasn't helped other than finding me a lot of Presbyterian Church websites.
Can someone clue me in?
Here's the listing link: Listing
Thanks in advance for any help.

Thank you, that makes much more sense. I knew about WorldCat but hadn't heard the OCLC term either...but at least I could google it and get something. Appreciate your help!

Here's a brief history of OCLC: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OCLC
WorldCat is the current version of what years ago used to just be called the OCLC database. It was part of the OCLC cataloging cooperative and was just used internally in libraries. When they made the cataloging database public it became known as WorldCat.
