I've had decent luck using a book search engine if I'm looking for a particular book. I like to use the Addall book search engine.
The home page URL is http://www.addall.com/
There's a link at the top of the page to search for used and OOP books. The search engine is good at finding books offered by almost all of the used book outlets like Alibris, Abebooks, Biblio, etc. Once you have the list of hits from the search engine, you can click on each hit to take you to the seller (e.g., Abebooks) for more information.
Of course, there's always eBay, if you're the patient sort. Hope you find what you're looking for.

Originally posted by chessisvanitychessbooks.co.uk is a great place to look. Tony, the guy who runs it has a huge selection of out of print masterpieces and is very helpful. i'm sure he can arrange to ship his products abroad for a very reasonable price.
Anyone know of a website that sells old hardcover books?
