Rare Books...What are you looking for?

That long lost rare, first edition book that you haven't seen for twenty years? Here are three great places to find that book.

First, its Alibris. We highly recommend this rare and used book search engine. It's fast, thousands of book dealers are involved, and we always seem to find what we are looking for. Our sister website, The Vintage Library, uses the Alibris service exclusively for posting its used book inventory.

Our second book search engine has 100 million books from around the corner and around the world at your fingertips, online at Abebooks. Both services bring together booksellers and independent bookstores for easy access.

Our third choice puts you in direct contact with other book collectors providing you with some potentially great deals at great prices. It's, of course... EBay!

Alibris and Abebooks are great for established booksellers with regular inventory, EBay is great for those who only sell occasionally or are liquidating collections. Another great service that these three website provide is they act as a great pricing tool. If you have items that you are not sure of their worth, use these three websites to get a ballpark value. Pricing is not an exact science, so you'll need to investigate thoroughly, but these three sites are a great place to start your rare book valuations.
