    You can also buy out-of-print books from Barnes & Noble online. I bought two John Ed Bradley novels that way. I think the total for both of them was $9, including shipping. They have a network of mom & pop bookstores around the country sending them out. One came from Tennessee, the other from California.

    I use it a lot. Sometimes just to check and see if an Ebay price is beatable. Ebay sellers are often not very savvy and price books WAY cheap. Sometimes way high.

    Bookfinder.com has been useful, too.

    Red, you probably know about ABE.com, but it's a fine source for collectible and hard to find books.
