Bookseller to recommend

Hello Forumites,

While I was reading some posts about books here, I went to check with a bookseller I've purchased from in the past. I see that he has some competitive prices on his books and the dust jackets always come in a protective cover. There is a small inventory of WW1 subjects. I'd highly recommend this bookseller.

I have also purchased books from Jerboa-Redcap Books, at:

http://www.jerboa-redcap-books.com/

They are pretty good, failing that I always check for specific books on Abe Books

http://www.abebooks.com/

It is surprising what is listed on Abe Books from around the world in old bookstores.

Edward R. Hamilton Bookseller

Dear Forum members, Over the years, I have found that Edward R. Hamilton, Bookseller in CT has a surprising number of WWI books available at really deep discounts. Right now they are offering Norman Franks book on WWI German Aces for $44.95. Their web site is edwardrhamilton.com or just type Edward R. Hamilton, Bookseller on a search engine. I hope this helps out. VR, Roadhog "Memento mori."

In addition to abebooks another I like to use to search for out of print titles is www.alibris.com. Between the two there is rarley a text that I haven't been able to find at least one copy of (although sometimes at rather higher prices than I expected... as was recently the case when I looked up Aviatory Extraordinary, the text on Sidney Cotton).
