Abe Books
Saturday, December 1st, 2007I’m not sure how well known a resource this is, but Abe Books is an excellent place to find rare, out of print and collectible books, sometimes at very low prices. It is basically a large cooperative of Mom and Pop book stores around the globe who sell their wares through this single venue. It is there that I’ve found many of the rare books I own that I couldn’t find anywhere else, and if you can find it elsewhere, it’s probably cheaper at Abe. Here are a couple rare books I’ve found there:
CAPULETTI. El pintor y su obra. (The biography of Spanish painter Jose Capuletti)
Virtues in Verse, by Berton Braley
Ninety-Three, by Victor Hugo
Maxfield Parrish by Coy Ludwig
