Title: Know a good used book shop that does mail order in Europe?
Post by: Fortescue-Smythe on March 30, 2017, 08:20:29 AM

The reason I am asking this question is: I am looking for a number of 80s SciFi novels by the American author C J Cherryh, of 'Downbelow Station' renown. They all seem to be out of print, and I cannot find them on ZVAB nor as ebooks. So if you know of a used book shop that is competent in tracking down older works, I would kindly ask you to point me thither.

Much obliged,
Fortescue-Smythe

Have you tried AbeBooks, they are usually very good for hard-to-find books?

Zardoz may be worth a try

Thanks a lot, those look good at first glance. I'll rummage around.

AddAll is a meta-serach engine that gives results from 22 used book search engines and sellers, from AABA.org to ZVAB (though not including ebay).  It saves a lot of time doing separate searches.
