A first edition Toy Theatre, its characters and set pieces intact, is not particularly rare -- it can be found easily by searching www.BookFinder.com, or other used book sites -- but runs between $200 and $350, unsigned.

Out of Print Book Finder [www.BookFinder.com]: Have you ever wondered if a book you read as a child was really as good as you remember it being? The only way to find out is to get a copy. Many are often out of print by the time you get interested in them again. A friend searched for a copy of 'Carbonel, the King of Cats' for years, and a search here turned up numerous copies in seconds. Just enter the book's name, and a list of available copies and dealers pops up within seconds, along with a range of conditions and prices that can fit just about any budget.
PC World, Lots of Bots
(December 2002)
Once you know what you want to buy, you have to figure out who's got the best deal. That's where shopping bots earn their keep. These software agents scour the Web or their own massive databases for products you designate. Then, like the Greek messenger Hermes on amphetamines, they zip back with a list of prices and places to buy. If they do the job right, bots spare you from visiting dozens of stores to collect prices and allow you to sniff out the steals from the so-so deals...There are also category-specific bots, such as BookFinder.com and CDPriceCompare.com.

Whole Earth, The Amateur Scientist
(December 2002)
For many decades the 'Amateur Scientist' column in Scientific American was a glorious outpost of dedicated enthusiasm. Here expensive scientific gear such as early lasers and x-ray machines were first presented in great detail as affordable do-it-yourself hacks. While the current editors of Scientific American stupidly canceled this clearinghouse, the old columns are remarkably timeless, and offer interested buffs the means to make cloud chambers, spectrometers, seismographs, telescopes, microscopes and all manner of cool instruments using only the most basic kind of stuff you'd find in basements or discount mail order venues...'The Scientific American Book of Projects for The Amateur Scientist', C.L.

The Internet has been both a blessing and a curse for used book dealers, said John Edwards, manager of Argos Book Shop. Ray Walsh, owner of Curious Book Shop and The Archives Book Shop in East Lansing, opened Argos 26 years ago, long before the Internet had come into popular use. Argos still relies heavily on walk-in customers and sells 10-15 percent of its books over the Internet. In addition toabebooks.com, several other Web sites, including Amazon, eBay, BookFinder.com, alibris.com and bibliofind.com sell used books.

The New York Times, They Never Left Home Without 'Em

In the mid-19th century, peace, prosperity and the development of railway and steamship networks made foreign travel commonplace for middle-class Europeans and Americans. Because these new tourists ostensibly sought self-improvement as well as pleasure, they invariably had at hand the relevant title published by one of the three Leviathans of guidebook publishing: the German firm of Baedeker (which published guidebooks in German, French and English), John Murray of London and the Guides Joanne from the Parisian publisher Hachette...With the shift of the antiquarian book trade to the Internet, 19th- and early 20th-century guidebooks are easy to find through sources like BookFinder.com...They are not necessarily expensive, with price, as in all antiquarian book-selling, depending on age, scarcity and condition.

Far Eastern Economic Review (Hong Kong) (Hongkong), The thrill of the search
(Oktober 24, 2002)
Ambivalence about the growing sophistication of Internet search engines is expressed. On the one hand it is great to have so much at ones fingertips; on the other users miss the excitement of tracking something down. All this came to mind with the announcement onfrom BookFinder.com, probably the biggest book search engine on the Net, that it had overhauled and relaunched its Web site. The site is a literary shopping engine, allowing readers to comparison-shop for new, used and rare books from bookstores around the world. It is a great site and has a wonderfully personal touch. But one cannot help feeling that some of the fun is being taken out of life.

New Media Age (Verenigd Koninkrijk), Case Study: BookFinder.com
(Oktober 3, 2002)
BookFinder.com isn't an e-commerce book retailer, but its case is still relevant to e-tail. It was created by Anirvan Chatterjee, then 19 years old, as a university project while he was a sophomore at Berkeley University, California. BookFinder.com was a way to help Chatterjee search for books more easily. It was also a way, he says, to give independent stores a way to stand against the Amazons of the world. 'Small booksellers love working with us,' he says. 'We even out the marketplace for small stores and keep a friction-free market for them.' Now his student project, never intended as a business, aggregates 40,000 booksellers with 40m titles around the world, from big players like Amazon to family shops in Scottish villages.

But I had never located a single copy until Abebooks found a seller in Australia. If Abebooks became a place where collectors could find rare material, it also spurred new sellers to enter the market. And as other sites such as BookFinder.com came online (www.bookfinder.com), the nature of used-book pricing began to change.

The Kansas City Star, Need a Textbook? Check Out Online Shopping Comparison Sites
(Augustus 4, 2002)
Standing in bookstore lines to buy new or used texts doesn't have to be part of a college student's back-to-school ritual anymore. Several online shopping comparison services will do the bargain hunting for you. Give them the title or, better yet, the ISBN number for the book you want, and they'll search a stable of booksellers to see who has the book in stock, and at what price...I tested several comparison services with a search for a hardcover chemistry textbook, General Chemistry by Kenneth W. Whitten, published in March 1996, ISBN number 0030061881. Its list price: $113. BookFinder.com: This search yielded two booksellers - Half.com again, with its $3.50 used copy, and Alibris, with copies at $45.20 and $104.65.

Old-fashioned discount wars are back, particularly online (which will surely help frontlist sales), with Amazon marking down all titles over $15 and reducing the threshold for free shipping. BN.com has pushed discounts on its top titles back to 40%, and is shipping all orders of two books or more for free. And rising general e-tailer Buy.com has challenged Amazon by promising to exceed any of its discounts by 10%.

In other words, the numbers of available new books will continue to grow, and sharply.

The Times (San Francisco Bay Area), Avid Reader Turns Passion Into Start-up. A Love of Books and a Search for Doonesbury Titles Led Former Cal Student to Launch BookFinder.com
(Mei 11, 2002)
All Anirvan Chatterjee wanted to do was complete a Doonesbury book collection. What he ended up getting was his own start-up business venture...Now, the site receives millions of hits per month from book hunters searching for first editions of "Valley of the Dolls" or "The Smart Little Mouse." And with the site's ability to search more than 40,000 sellers, many go away satisfied. "It's a good site to try and locate a title," said Lynn Kuehl, co-owner at Diablo Bookstore in Walnut Creek. Kuehl said he mainly uses the site to research book values and special order books for customers from sellers the engine searches. "It's really quite helpful," Kuehl said. "We definitely use it." The site is free for users. The business is supported mainly through advertising, augmented by referral fees from some sellers. After conducting a book search, users can link to several book sellers to buy it. "We wanted to be really, really ethical with the site, and make sure people knew what was going on," Chatterjee said. "We didn't want any hidden finder fees or things like that." The philosophy seems to have worked. While other new and used book sites such as BigWords.com, Books.com and JustBooks have gone through restructurings, acquisitions or shutdowns, BookFinder.com continues building on its success.

The addition of used book stores to the search is valuable for finding titles that online giants say are out of print.

The Augusta Chronicle (Georgia), Web Site Offers Book Search
(Mei 2, 2002)
Searching for books online - be they rare, used or new - is simple with a site like BookFinder.com. This specialty search site claims to scan the inventories of more than 40,000 booksellers, 'from behemoths like Amazon.com to tiny mom-and-pop indies,' for matches to your book hunts. You can type in the book's title or an author to find out where a book is for sale, and at what price. Once linked to the book of your choice you can then buy it online direct from the bookseller. The addition of used-book stores to the search is invaluable as it turns up some books that online giants say are out of print ... and saves money as well.

Having its origin as a class project by then 19-year old UC Berkeley undergrad Anirvan Chatterjee in 1996, BookFinder.com now combs the sites of 40,000 booksellers--from Powell's Books to Alibris, Fatbrain and Amazon. How it works: you plug in a title or author name along with the condition you desire (new, used or out-of-print), and the search engine pulls up and links to sites the title is offered. Don't come here to browse; you won't find summaries or articles. BEST: Great for comparison shopping: search results are arranged by price.

How quaint: a book site that deals only in books. BookFinder.com is especially good for hard-to-find books, connecting bookstores big and small. Type in a title and it tells you where it's available and what condition the books are in. Once you locate a book, you might have the option of placing a -- gasp! -- phone order.

Alibris.com doesn't provide dealer contact information, but it completes the transaction for you (for a fee added to the dealer's price). BookFinder.com has its own listings and is an umbrella site that directs you to most of the others named here.

How to find that elusive book -- tracing that elusive book has never been easier thanks to the dawn of the internet. A number of websites have been created dedicated to helping people search for that long-cherished edition. Perhaps the best known is the amazon.com website which has established itself as one of the biggest on-line book stores. The site also offers a second hand book service with links to dealers, mainly in America, with prices and details of the condition of books. A similar service is available on the dedicated BookFinder.com.

(Februari 25, 2002)
One thing Tipking can't help you do is find rare books - but BookFinder.com (http://www.bookfinder.com) can. This is a site I first discovered 12 months ago or more and found to be a bit limited, but since then it has developed a great deal. It has now become probably the most useful site on the web for finding rare and out-of-print books and performed particularly well when I tested it by looking for some old favourites from my schooldays. You use it just as if you were searching on a regular retail site like Amazon. The list of matches, with prices, is linked to individual booksellers. Most are in the US, but there are now plenty of UK ones as well and it is then a simple matter to e-mail the seller directly for more details of how to buy the book. If it's a shop offering online sales, you'll be able to order it there and then.

All right folks, take out a pen and paper or your Palm Pilot or something and follow along as we browse. First of all the first place to go of course as Lance would tell us and certainly his bosses would confirm that, is PC Magazine's site -- PCMag.com where you'll find this list of a hundred sites -- actually two hundred -- a hundred obscure, a hundred not so obscure. Then you can go into these various places, for example, www.BookFinder.com. So you could get used books on Amazon, but this is a little more obscure. I believe what it does is it links bookstores all across the country which is kind of cool because it keeps independent bookstores going. I plugged in one of my favorite books, I'm a space guy -- Valentine Lebedev -- Diary of a Cosmonaut, very obscure title and I found it in six places around the country. Pretty cool?
