Okay all you Bibliophiles (that’s bookworms to the less well read of you) – here we have some resources for finding books. Whether you want to find that perfect first edition signed antique book, or want the latest bestseller – at the cheapest price, one of these websites will help.
Global / American Book Search Engines
- AbeBooks Book Search – Lists over 110 million books, they also have the AbeBooks Rare Books Search area to “search for antiquarian & rare books.”
- Bookfinder.com – Claims to index 150 million books and can search for new, used, rare or out of print books. A massive resource.
- Addall.com – Indexes over “40+ sites, 20,000 sellers, millions of books!”
- UsedBookSearch – “linked to thousands of online booksellers via a small number of booklisting services”
UK Specific Book Searches
These UK sites allow you to search for books by title, author or ISBN. They will check at all the big names such as Amazon, WH-Smith etc. All can scour the web for the cheapest prices and are ones I personally use.
- Bookkoob – Easy to use with a lot of user reviews.
- Find-book – Good categories and bestseller sections.
- BookBrain – Has a nice interface with ordering of results in many different ways.
Book Swapping Websites
The following sites are geared towards swapping books. You offer titles to swap or exchange with other members and can search for titles yourself. Each site works slightly differently but are worth investigating.
Other Ways To Find Books
- Worldcat.org allows you to “Find items in libraries near you.”
