EIGHT OF THE MOST EXTENSIVE AND/OR USEFUL INTERNET SOURCES FOR USED BOOKS ARE:

BOOKFINDER: Bookfinder searches through a number of book databases, used and new, to help you find the book you want. / Suggested by John Wiser of Jicotea Used Books & Music, jicotea@frontiernet.net / Posted 8.18.98 / Updated 7.31.99 at suggestion of Palika of Santa Cruz, CA
CHOOSEBOOKS.COM: Searches the inventory of book sellers worldwide.They have apparently also bought out ZVAB (Zentrales Verzeichnis Antiquarischer Bücher - central catalogue of antiquarian books) which was a great place to search for books worldwide and featured 1500 antiquarian book dealers from 18 countries. Listing Updated February 2008 - JT
ILAB: The homepage of the International League of Antiquarian Book Sellers. / Posted 4.22.00 - JT
ALIBRIS: Alibris guarantees the books bought from their site. This service comes at a price, however. You do not know who the dealer was who had the book, and you often have to pay more than if you bought it directly from the dealer. / Revised 7.18.01- JT
ABE which is short for ADVANCED BOOK EXCHANGE: Database includes listings from 13,500 booksellers. Listing Updated February 2008 - JT
BOOKSOLD: This website created by my friend Bill McDonnell, a long-time antiquarian book dealer, offers some very useful book related links which do not appear here.
ANTIQBOOK: Especially good for books from Europe. / Posted 7.18.01- JT
BIBLION: This is an association of 130 booksellers in the UK.
