Well, perhaps the subject line is a bit exaggerated, but I should like especially to emphasize a site mentioned by Alii, http://www.bookfinder.com
This site has several advantages for intrepid tippety-tappers:
- it searches a gargantuan international network of used and rare book sellers, most of which are independents
- it also searches amazon.com and Barnes & Noble
- one can often find used books in pristine condition and much cheaper than their discounted amazon.com equivalent; I have found quality hardback editions for less than half the price of discounted low-quality paperback equivalents at amazon.com
N.B. I am not suggesting this as an alternative to PB linking to amazon; I merely mention it in the hopes of increasing a reader's quality of life, however minutely.
Cheers,
