Sources for out of print books

<p>I'm looking for a group of out of print books by one author. Not first editions or collectibles, I just want to re-read and enjoy them.
Sources I know are
Amazon.com
Ebay
abebooks.com and Powells</p>

<p>Any others?</p>

<p>Depending on your local library system, that can be a good source. We use a lot of out of print books for IB Internal Assessments and sometimes the library is the only place that still has them. However they have to be fairly popular usually (i.e. Making of the President).</p>

<p>Searches multiple sources at once</p>

<p><a href="http://www.bookfinder4u.com/used_book_stores.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.bookfinder4u.com/used_book_stores.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>I have for many years used [url=<a href="http://www.addall.com/%5Daddall.com%5B/url"&gt;www.addall.com/]addall.com[/url&lt;/a&gt;] which will search many dozens of sources, for either new or used books, and let you order them directly, including overseas bookstores. I recommend it. (They claim to search "20,000 sources" but I'm not sure how they count, LOL!)</p>

<p>half.com is good. Sometimes I just google the title to see what comes up.</p>

<p>Try <a href="http://www.abebooks.com%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.abebooks.com&lt;/a> or <a href="http://www.alibris.com%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.alibris.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>I just noticed you had abebooks on your list already; sorry for the repeat.</p>
