"With a virtual collection purported
to number a staggering 40 million used, rare, and out-of-print
volumes,
abe books
is a bibliophiles' paradise.
By aggregating the collections of booksellers large and small
worldwide, this great site makes the hunt for the rarities,
oddities, and just plain old good deals simple."
"The site's deep collection is
supported by a powerful set of tools, including a great search engine,
the ability to drill down into individual bookshops to see their other
listings, and solid staff recommendations and feature stories. We also
like the BookSleuth feature, which lets you pose obscure book research
questions to a very active community, such as: "Does anyone remember a
children's book about a witch who enchanted children & turned them into
flowers in pots that she set on the window sill?"" |
