SC - Apicius /book finding

[Deborah Schumacher]

I have a better solution.
www.bookfinder.com searches Abe, and Bibliofind, and Amazon and a whole
bunch more.
Searching them i found this
Flower, Barbara & Elisabeth Rosenbaum. THE ROMAN COOKERY BOOK. A CRITICAL
TRANSLTION OF "THE ART OF COOKING" BY APICIUS. London: Nevill, [1958]. Good.
259p.,
index. $20.00 OUR REFERENCE: HURLEY2035690I (the vendor was Bibliocity and
the url is
http://www.bibliocity.com/bib-bin/todealer?l=1079&n=40179&d=CBJJ&f=n&m=USD
for that copy)
r

there was another copy that was 45.00 so yes cheaper then the 77.

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.
