A useful internet site for used books is ALIBRIS (http://alibris.com/).

I looked for a book on radar by Buderi: The Invention that changed the world.

The list price at the Internet bookshop AMAZON was $39.98 but is was out of print.

At ALIBRIS I bought it for $5.47 (plus $9.95 shipping cost :-(  )

It is a bound, used copy but I can see no difference with a new book.

I gave this hint also to a Dutch amateur who was looking for Terman's Radio Engineer's Handbook and he bought a used copy also at ALIBRIS.
