I've used abeBooks with some success. There are also Bookfinder, at
<http://www.bookfinder.com/> and Alibris, at
<http://www.alibris.com/>. For reasons of inertia and a convenient
interface (and free shipping on orders > $50), I have gravitated to
Alibris recently (I do a good bit of used book searching). All three
of these services are good. If you don't find what you seek on one,
look on another.

Let's face it. People use a Mac because they want to, Windows because they
