LF: Off topic: buying used books via Internet

["Dick Rollema" <d.w.rollema@freeler.nl>]

To All from PA0SE

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.
