This isn't strictly law-related, tho' I suppose it could be, depending
on what you're looking for. But it's casual Friday in Stillwaterland,
and I wanted to share a site I found last night while doing some
searching for a friend.
According to the site's own definition, this is a "book shopping search
engine that scans bookseller databases to find new, used, rare, and out
of print books." The Librarian's Guide to the Internet (where I found
the link to this site by searching the phrase "used books") notes "It
searches Advanced Book Exchange, Amazon, Antiqbook, Bibliocity,
Bibliofind, Powell's Books, and YourBooks.com at once. Run by Anirvan
Chatterjee, a graduate student at the School of Information Management
and Systems (was the Library School), UC Berkeley."
BTW, Amazon had the highest price for what I was seeking, a 2 volume
genealogy title from 1938. Amazon priced it as a special order at $150
as opposed to prices ranging from $20-60 at most of the rest of the
sites - and I had over 40 hits on my search.
This is an effective, easy-to-use site that I'm sure many of you have
already found and bookmarked, but it was news to me so I am passing it
on in honor of Fabulous Friday.
Have a great weekend everybody,
