Hi!

Any of the following websites:

www.abebooks.com

http://www.tomfolio.com

www.addall.com

www.alibris.com

www.bookfinder.com

www.sixthchamber.com

I always found what I wanted at abebooks. You should also find what you want at Elephant Books. The website address is http://www.bestbuysonthenet.com/bbn/reports/480.html

I hope this helps.

Default No website but...

This place LIVES for cookbooks: Kitchen Arts and Letters on Lexington Avenue in NYC. They are at 1435 Lexington Avenue, New York, NY 10128. Phone: (212) 876-5550.

If you punched up www.kitchenartsandletters.com, there will only be a front page with the promise of "much more to come." This page has been in its current state for over 4 years and I don't believe there will ever be more to come. They are obviously spending their time chasing down rare and important books to maintain a website!

www.FoodWords.com

Good luck!

I live around the corner from Kitchen Arts & Letters and was in there a few weeks ago. I asked about the website and they said that the owner, Nach Waxman, was not a believer in cyberspace and had abandoned it. They will find anybook you want though. Give them a call @212-876-5550. Here is a descrption from The Splendid Table.

Smile Books: New & Out of Print

Many good ideas have been provided; however you may be surprised by the disparity of prices! It will really pay you to shop around. By the way, I've had very good luck using the internet web site for Barnes & Noble, for current items and also out of print items.

Best of Luck, GW.
