American Booksellers Exchangehttp://www.abebooks.com/ 
American Book Exchange catalogs more than 40 million used books available from booksellers around the world. ABE adds a small commission to each sale, but the majority of out-of-print and hard-to-find books are still great bargains!

Powell's Bookshttp://www.powells.com/rareandcollectible.html 
Visit the Rare and Collectible "book room" on Powell's Web site. Powell's began as a used book dealer in 1970. The inventory grew so large, the store was moved to Portland, Oregon into a former automobile dealership. Powell's now sells both new and used books.


 


Alibris Booksellershttp://www.alibris.com/ 
alibris carries new, used, rare, and out-of-print books. It is one of the better sites for finding books for children and has many specialty topic areas.

International Book Collectors Associationhttp://www.rarebooks.org
