What We Say: AbeBooks is basically an aggregator of thousands of used bookstores. Some of those stores are actual bricks & mortar retail outlets, while many are operated out someone's front room. Either way, they are vetted to a certain degree by AbeBooks, so you have a excellent chance of receiving the book on time and in the condition in which it was described. They claim to search a database representing 13,500 booksellers.

Useful Services BookSleuth: "Is there a special book that you read, or perhaps had read to you, at some point in your life but you can't remember the author and title?

Visitors from all over the world will read your post, and one of them is bound to know exactly what you're talking about and post a response."
$$$ Booksellers pay a subscription fee to list their books. Monthly subscription rates range from $25 to $300, depending on the number of books listed.

Cons The site seems a bit dated. Postage options could be improved to save costs. Payment options and related topics vary by seller.
