    Where to buy used books online?

    Aside from ebay, where can I buy used books (works of photographers) online? I am looking for the works of other photographers to add to my small collection of books (Reza, Daido Moriyama,Life, Nat Geo). I want used books because sometimes the price difference from used is quite a lot, and who doesn't want to save money.

    (To Moderators, if this is not the right forum to post this please move it to the right section. Thank You.)

    I own probably 150-200 photography books (not "how to" books, books about photography and photographers). Almost all that were bought in the last few years were bought used through Amazon. You can find some great deals there. Just yesterday I took delivery of "EW100," a book of essays about Edward Weston published on the 100th anniversary of his birth (that I learned about here, thanks whoever mentioned it). It cost about $3 plus $3.99 postage.

    I have seen and bought lots of books on Amazon. Dagor77 will sell a book for upwards of 60 some dollars on ebay and I've gotten the same book on Amazon for 3.00 plus 3.99 s/h.

    I know you asked about online, but local used bookstores can be great sources for photo books. A lot of libraries sell donated books and books taken out of circulation either at the library or at small bookshops.

    Thanks! I will check all of these, and also I will look locally. The only bookstore I know of here is Barnes and Noble. I'm getting quite, shall we say, addicted to these photo books and also art books.
