You are browsing the archives of second hand books.

Public libraries usually have a yearly sale, which they use to make room for newer books to add to their shelves. Often, the used hardcover books are sold by the pound! Many select books are sold for less than a dollar. Garage sales, thrift stores, flea markets and estate sales are other good resources. Once you become more practiced in recognizing the better quality used hardcover books, there are thousands of online booksellers, many of whom will find rare and out of print books for you. The eBay market always has a huge and ever-changing inventory of hundreds of thousands of books.

Shopping for hard to find books has always been a passion of mine. I love everything about books. I love the smell, the texture, and of course the words they contain. As much as I like new books, hard to find books are even better. When you buy a rare or hard to find book, you feel like you have found a real treasure.
