I need Sabon roman, italic, bold, and bold italic fonts in T1. I have spent several hours searching the internet to no avail. Already bought a wrong Sabon font package. Can anybody direct me to a respectable source, please?

As Bob said opentype is your best bet. That is because they will work equally well on either a Mac or PC. I saw that MyFonts: Fonts for Print, Products & Screens has the full version of Sabon in opentype. I've dealt with this site in the past and can recommend it.

Bob and Bill: thank you for your reply. I have to do some editing on a document that has body text set in Sabon (T1). To avoid any changes to the text flow, I think I need exactly the same fonts as the original. For instance, using Sabon Lt Std in the same font size results in slightly longer text and is thus useless. The original was set on a Mac and I work on PC (win 7).

Again, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

The fact that you are working on a PC makes using opentype even more important. You will never be able to match what was done with the Mac version of PS Type 1 Sabon on a PC simply because PS1 fonts do not work cross platform. If working on these on a PC is your only option then you'll just have to somehow adjust the flow manually probably by tracking the text differently to compensate for the difference.

Why do you need the Type 1 version. Those are platform specific and lack the feature available in professional opentype fonts.
