Thanks to Joe for sending along this link.

Check out this site: Bookfinder.com. This site lets you search over 150 million books for sale whether it be rare, out-of-print, obscure, or a textbooks, and find either original sellers in your neighborhood and the cheapest seller around. Although advocates have long spoken about the importance of supporting your local bookstore, Amazon has long been the first place I buy books because it makes shopping so easy. However, it is a hard place to find rare books or obscure out-of-print texts.

Bookfinder.com promises to be the perfect solution. Not only does this help consumers find nearby bookstores and the best bargains, it allows our consumer dollar to maintain a diverse bookselling industry. What’s more you can search by language of book, region, and currency.

Great resource. Maybe I’ll be able to dig up some of Dave Duncan’s older series that I haven’t been able to find.

Bookfinder is excellent, especially older or uncommon books. I have spent a fortune on that site.

Sir,

Thx for that link. I suspect it will come in very useful indeed for all of us dead tree old book lovers out there.
Whatever the strain on one`s credit card, from a 1st look yesterday one can be fairly sure it is worth it.

Spousal acceptance factor might be E-, though.
