Do a Google search for shops in your area, those that don`t sell online usually do mail order. What area do you live in? Cos I know a few in Sheffield.

An obvious one, but Amazon (UK & US) are often good for picking up OOP stuff. I`ve bought quite a few OOP books through their "Marketplace".

A decent UK site is www.paperbackshop.co.uk - I`ve picked up one or two older, rarer books from there at pretty decent prices.

My dad uses this website for all his book searches esp for s/h stuff - just watch out for U.S. postage costs though if buying from any of the U.S. based shops

Many of them will quote you the postage if asked.

"Rare and Racey" on Division Street and there is also a shop at Commonside (number 95 bus from town), but I`ll double check the Commonside one for you cos its been a while since I`ve been down that way.

Steve - there`s also a rare/2nd hand bookshop on Sharrowvale road, near Hunters Bar roundabout - just behind Ecclesall road. Get on one of 82, 83, 86, or 74/74A from outside Virgin in town to go up eccey road.

Try www.abebooks.com which is one of the biggest sites of its type on the web.
