https://www.abebooks.com/ is the place to go. They have a very large network of book dealers that they have everyone’s inventory on line. I just bought 14 books on coins and all in with postage it was $96. These are not necessarily new books but older books, library books, study books, name it and it is here. You will find all years here, but my experience to date has been very good. I have bought Machinist Handbook on here that was in very good shape that was over 35 years old!

When I get my books I will post some reviews here along with photos. I figured at the price I could toss 1/2 of them and still be way ahead!

    Bookfinder.com aggregates across many sites and I think it’s the best.

    They started in 1995 as a classically used book store with the then unusual eCommerce option. This extended their reach, and they do a good job of classifying and grading their books.

    Interestingly, while Amazon bought them in 2008, it still feels like the same place.

    I'm lucky - Half Price Books - https://hpb.com/our-story is here in North Texas and is another place with a decent eCommerce part.

    I have bought several coin related books from them over the course of 10 years and always satisfied.
