Finding out of print books

Often people post threads in Books to ask where they can find copies of such-and-such an o/p book, or where they can find out what such-and-such a book by A. Woman is. No one minds answering these, but it might be as well to have a few links here so that people don't have to go through the forum rigmarole.

• Bookfinder (http://www.bookfinder.com)
• ABE books (http://www.abebooks.co.uk)
• Alibris (http://www.alibris.com)
• Copac (http://www.copac.ac.uk) is an academic library aggregator which might be useful.

Other matters

[Kit-Cat, 15.04.04] I'm keen to think of new ways to talk about books on the board and am going to start a new thread to discuss this - but in the meantime I'd like to note my idea of Themed Threads or 'bibliographies' as a potential way of discussing ides without every participant needing to have read the same book or author.
