• Is biblio.com trusted for international shipment?

  Just happened to find a bargain (lol) and the easiest way to buy this book without redirecting via shipment routers is biblio.com. Source: 5 months ago

• Don Talbot books

  Biblio.com has them...might be a bit hit and miss though. Source: 10 months ago

• A place to give old cook books to? explanation in comments.

  If it’s items like this you could try selling through biblio.com - I collected this whole series through Biblio and paid decent money for some of the rarer ones. Source: about 1 year ago

• Found an early hardcover copy of The Shining by Stephen King at my local Goodwill. I only paid 25 cents for it because the cashier accidentally rang it up as a paperback.

  From biblio.com: "Published in 1977, the first editions published by Doubleday have “First Edition” on the copyright page and R49 code printed on the bottom inside corner of page 447." FWIW, in very good to fine condition, first editions with this dust cover range in price from $750-$6000. Source: about 1 year ago

• From where do you guys get first edition books?

  Biblio.com, ebay, and the occasional lucky used bookstore find. Mostly the first two, though you have to be extra wary you're getting what you think you're getting, ie they didn't just use a catalog picture and the actual item is a more recent/damaged edition. Source: over 1 year ago

• MLIS books available digitally?

  Right now I'm in the middle of the chicken and the egg problem where we don't have enough authors cataloging their publications and b/c of that obviously readers are not interested in using the site. I've gone back and forth with taking Open Libray's [0] catalog as that would at least flesh out our collection of books but then I'd have to deal with verifying authors to accounts so they can access their books.... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• YSK: You can access many old and out of print hiking books from the Internet Archive's Open Library

  The Internet Archive runs what they call the Open Library, which is a unique concept on the traditional library. You can sign-up with minimal details and digitally check out many scanned books from libraries all over the world. The only caveat is that almost all of the books are older editions - ones that would be impossible to find locally. It's great if you're looking for old routes, a look back in time, details...

• Searching for a pharmacy book

  I want to clarify that I'm a non-US citizen, so accessing physical copies from US libraries or buying it from Amazon might not be feasible for me. To give you some context, my personal research was guided by the wiki section of r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH (https://www.reddit.com/r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH/wiki/reading/). I've conducted research using various online resources, including the Ebook & Open Source/Access Libraries... Source: 8 months ago
