I mostly search http://www.abebooks.com/ , named not after a president, but
short for Advanced Book Exchange. While Alibris brings up 102 results for
"Austin-Healey", Abebooks brings up 930.
While these excellent sites make finding books a snap, book collecting has
lost some of its magic. Wandering through musty old bookshops has always
been part of the appeal, but these money-losing places are closing down at an
alarming rate. Now book finding has become a vending machine. Drop your coin
in the slot and "clunk", out comes your food pellet.
