You can have quite a lot of fun looking for rare books you desire. There are lots of alternatives if you are about to start a book hunt. Here you can see what we are talking about.
- Visit a rare book shop, if you know of one, and ask the shop owner if he has any ideas about you're book. There is a great atmosphere at places like this and it can be pleasurable to just browse through the selection of books and you may even find something else that takes your fancy.
- Alternatively, online you can find rare book shops with vast collections of books. There is the same general feel of a love of books which is great and there is still a sense of heritage even though it is all online.
- Check at your library and find out if and when they are having book sales. Although you may not find the one you are looking for, you can usually pick up a bargain or two.
- If your book has recently come off print, check remainder tables at all your local book shops. They are often in good condition and slightly discounted.
- Visit discount book warehouses where they specialise in remaindered books, often housing thousands of different titles. If you are looking for humour books, you should check places such as this and remainder tables out because they often go out of print quickly due to their niche audience.
- Give eBay a try if you can't find it any of the other ways. Many people sell rare books on the site but be careful how much you end up paying.
Enjoy the hunt.
