Anyone else discover this site yet? I just bought 3 Andre Kertesz titles used for a grand total of $23 including shipping. One of the books was $6.
I bought: On Reading, Washington Square and Americana. Granted iin used condition but who cares. I can't wait to get them!! My ultimate goal is to get a copy of every one of his books.

One of the books says it has water damage, but I took a chance. As long as I can see the photos Im happy. Otherwise the book is quite pricey and I couldnt afford it, so Im taking a chance on it.
 
I have bought lots from Abe's. It's actually a network of used book dealers from around the world. Abe's isn't like Amazon, selling their own inventory. It's really great for collectible books, hard to find books, first editions, etc. I have nothing but praise for them. Sometimes it's just a treat to browse through search listings of exotic books. Try searching for something like "Author: Darwin; Keyword: Species", for example. Now, if you think collecting cameras is expensive...😀😎😀

I just got my email confirmation. One of the books, On Reading, is coming from a bookshop in Maine. On their website it states they are an appointment only bookstore .

"Our inventory is stored for" optimal preservation. Requests to view particular books are gladly accommodated.

Sounds like an interesting place. http://www.eureka4books.com/contact.html
 
It is my first source for books. You can usually buy used in great condition for a fraction of the price. For research you can often buy rare, out of print books for very cheap - not worth the hassle of using the rare book library when you can buy the book for very little money!
