WORLDS BEST PLACE to buy used woodworking books

Hi Dan;

I can really appreciate this information. I’m a woodworking book nut. I think I like reading about it as much as doing it! (less dust) LOL.

Great resource Dan. Thank you very much.

Oh cool! Thanks, Dano!

Before you spend all of your money at abesbooks.com look at addall.com it is a search engine for just books. You can give part of a name or author and it will give you all the places to buy it and the price.

It’s the best searching that I’ve found for books. I go to Borders and find books that I might want and then go and buy them at a discount using addall.com

Good luck there.

My wife loves Abe’s.
If your ever in Portland, OR you owe yourself a trip to Powell’s Bookstore. It’s pretty great too. It’s huge, and I’ve never been to a used bookstore where they hire someone to play a baby grand piano while customers shop. They have a website too.

Yes! I go to abe.com first. But I learned recently to check out other places like Karson suggests – (amazon, etc.) too for used books. Someone was looking for a good furniture design book recently and I warned how expensive the out of print title I suggested was going to be. I was a bit embarrassed when others soon pointed out how inexpensive it was found “over here” on the web.

I do the same thing as Karson. Never tried his like but will from now on. Many times, I find a book I want on ebay and check out the prices on amazon and abes looking for the best deals. I like ebay because of paypal, but can use my paypal atm card as a credit card on other sites too.

I’ve used abebooks a great deal over the years. Before I bid on eBay, I invariably check out prices on abebooks and thus set my limit. Often eBay bids far exceed several abe sellers. I recently bought the Fine Woodworking Design Book 3 from the USA through abebooks. Not only was the book price lower but the mailing costs were half what the eBay seller was asking.
