Used Book Website

  Re: (...)
Not sure how many of you buy used books online, but the thread on books for Christmas made me think of this. I have been using these two sites for the last few years, and have got some great deals. He had been moaning about a book he lost years ago, and was never able to find it again. I went online last week, and picked it up for $1.00 (I’m now a hero!!!!). There were about 25 of them, ranging in price from $1.00 to $56.90. The one I got is in mint condition he said. And, I got free shipping in the States!!!

http://www.bookfinder.com is my favourite, since it combines ABE, tomfolio, Powell's, et al, all into one.

If I have an ongoing or unsatisfied search, then I use ABE for the ability to "save this want" so that any future updates that match my criteria will be emailed to me. Otherwise, that's the only time I use ABE directly, and I just let BookFinder do the work.

If you use Firefox instead of Internet Explorer, you may also like Book Burro. It is an extension you can add on to Firefox so that whenever you search for a book an a site, it will give you an overlay that shows a comparison of prices from many different sources, without your having to go to a separate web page to do so.

What book was it he had lost Lorraine? I'm going to have to bookmark those sites.
Don't wait too long to tell someone you love them.

I'm glad you asked Billy, because I'm curious too. Thanks for the websites, Lorraine. I love to buy used books and have never gotten a bad one yet.

I've had really good luck with Amazon's resellers for used and new books.

Thanks for the site, labs!

The one he lost was "Lilies Of The Kitchen", all about onions, leeks, shallots etc.
