Museum Books
Museum Books used to be a real-world book shop that was located opposite the British Museum. They were forced to abandon their premises and set up shop online instead. They deliver internationally, and offer a vast list of both new and used books. The most recent list of avaiable books dates to June 2007, but give them a call to find out if a book that intersts you is still available. Contact details can be found at the above website address.

Out of Print book search
As frequent visitors will know, I haven't been doing much web surfing recently so this is a special version to address one particular problem - finding unusual or out of print books. I have been using all of these companies to find books that I cannot possibly live without, even thought they are out of print.
I have been talking to others recently about how to acquire these books and I though that it might be of use to distribute the information a little further - if you read this and have some additional recommendations, please feel free to email and I will post an update.
