If you're looking for used books DON'T shop through Amazon or Barnes 
and Noble. They both buy through others and you'll end up paying 
twice what you ought to.

I've successfully purchased about 1/2 dozen rare out-of-print books through
http://www.abebooks.com

and recently placed an order through
http://www.bibliofind.com

Both of these are listings of a wide number of second-hand and 
rare-book dealers. I just missed a copy of a book i'd been looking 
for for months because Amazon got their order in just ahead of me. I 
would have paid around 19 dollars. I'm sure the Amazon customer will 
pay close to 40 for the book.

Try the above two URL's. I'm sure you'll find a better deal. You can 
also create a "wish list" and you'll be notified if the book you want 
gets listed.

I prefer to buy new books from small booksellers, but i realize that 
some folks are too far away and Amazon and Barnes and Noble are good 
sources for new books.

But for used, please, save yourself a truckload of money and try the 
above small vendors. And, of course, if other folks on the list have 
recommendations for on-line used-and-rare-book dealers, feel free to 
share. I just mention the two above because i've used them regularly 
or had them recommended.
