The used-book databases I mentioned are at www.bibliofind.com and www.
interloc.com. At these sites you can email the booksellers or bookstores
offering specific books, asking them to hold the books for you. If they
confirm, you can then treat it like a regular old mail order and mail
them a check, if you don't want to use a credit card on the Net (I don't
).
The used-book world has been doing mail-order business for decades, if
not centuries, and that trade is mostly honest and self-policing, in my
experience. A tip: if the bookseller mentions ABAA membership, it's more
likely you've found an established book person with a rep to protect.
(There are a lot of honest booksellers who aren't in the ABAA, too. I'm
not.)
