How To Find Hard To Find Books
To Find It NewIf a book is still in print there's a good chance you might be able to locate it through one of the larger online booksellers. Try searching Amazon.com or Powells:
Other online booksellers to try, particularly for textbooks, are
BiggerBooks.com Some books, especially if textbooks or self-published, may only be available through the publisher. A search on your favorite search engine will probably turn up the publisher's web page (if there is one). Readers in the UK (or those in other countries who are looking for books published in the UK, as they ship internationally) may want to try Amazon.co.uk. Used BooksA book that has gone out of print may still sometimes be found through a general bookseller that also deals in used books. Amazon, Powells, and some of the other new book dealers linked above also sometimes have used copies available (see search boxes above).
A book that has only recently gone out of print may also sometimes be located through a dealer in remainders (books that have had their last remaining copies wholesaled by the publisher to a bargain books dealer) such as BookCloseOuts.com
Advanced Book Exchange is a network of dealers where you may be able to find out of print books, search: Alibris
Bunches of Books UK readers might want to try JustBooks UK
Library CopiesIf your local library doesn't have a copy of a book you are looking for they still may be able to borrow one from another library through Interlibrary Loan. See your librarian for assistance. Some libraries may charge for this service.
