Anyway, I&#39;m in the ad game and like to read up on advertising when it was in its prime, namely the 70s and 80s. </p> <p>Some books I wanted were always out of print and unavailable at the usual places. Namely, Amazon.com, Borders, Barnes &amp; Noble, the usual crowd. Then I discovered Alibris and my life suddenly got a whole lot fuller, books-wise anyway. Not only do they stock new books, movies and music, they stock some fairly rare used books, movies and music too. And as they&#39;re all offered by different sellers, the prices range too. </p> <p>One book I wanted was over $100 at a fancy used book store. I found it at Alibris for just $2.89 plus a small shipping fee. This is a book-hunters dream. And if they don&#39;t have what you want, submit a request. They&#39;ll do their best to find it for you.
