when you decide what you want, look at alibris dot com for good prices....its where I get all my old and out of print books....

[dockhl]

or amazon.com for their used books.

Or addall.com which gives you lots of sources for new and used books, ranked by price, the cheapest first. Sometimes they're even cheaper than Amazon, since they factor in the shipping price.

I've always had great luck with Bookfinder.com. Amazon and Alibris are encorporated there, along with loads of other smaller sellers. The descriptions of condition for used books seems pretty reliable. New books are on the left column, used on the right, in order of lowest price first. I recently bought a used hardcover copy of Jasper White's 50 Chowders for $7.50 (and that includes shipping!) and I can barely tell it's used. I'll check out Addall--I never heard of it, but it sounds similar.
