This is a good site: http://www.abebooks.co.uk/ the one madasahatter said gave a link to this site; the book obviously hasn't been printed for a while but this will probably do. thanks. |

By:
There is hardly a book that has ever been published that is not on abe.
|
|
By:
it's on there, but want a new copy and have no idea which one would be best...

Sort your search into "highest price " and run down the list and read the descriptions. If its out of print you want VG/VG no inscriptions etc

^ nice one, thanks. poppydog |
|
By:
No
I wouldn't say at all, as it's probably not collectable But if a Christmas gift, gives you a sort of get-out-clause |
|
By:
go into waterstones. they can order anything you want and it usually arrives in 2-3 days.
you cant beat the personal touch. very knowledgeable staff too. |
|
By:
But they can only sell books in print.
|
|
By:
Waterstone's system is currently down - two weeeks best for anything other than personality biographies and the like. As has been suggested, Abe books is the best for anything non-mainstream, but Amazon the cheapest generally for new, recently published books. I ordered various last Monday - delivered Friday last.

^nonsence waterstones have other suppliers where they can get books that aren't in their warehouses. Well, not according to the honest, clued-up young lady who works there, as she advised me last week. But you obviously know better than her. |
|
By:
well as a matter of fact i do because i work at waterstones and our systems are alive and kicking.
|
|
By:
I hope Amazon offer you a job in the New Year when Waterstone's go down
|
|
By:
;)
we're jam packed. There will always need to be a good high street bookshop because there are plenty of people who haven't got the internet/don't want to use it for shopping. also people want to look at books before they buy them often. |
|
By:
Personally I think you are wrong. The internet will kill Waterstones which is a sort of justice as Waterstones killed independent booksellers.How are you surviving at the moment? Top ten discounted titles.

god bless stieg larsson and jamie oliver. ;)

I love visiting Waterstone's, not least for the vast range and the odd-ball assistants working there. It would be a shame if the place couldn't continue, and I always feel guilty about buying elsewhere. My local independent is outstanding in terms of range, and I buy occasionally as my contribution to helping him to keep on going, but alas all too often the Amazon discount is just so persuasive.
|
|
By:
i agree in a way.
i buy most of my books from oxfam. |
|
By:
I am a bookseller and I just cant compete with Amazon marketplace. Some of them sell as new books for 1p and make a few bob on the postage. Impossible
