I concur with Mac128. I personally have found EBAY very useful to alerting me to books that I want, and I then go to Amazon to get reasonable prices. I got Macintosh Complete! for about $8 (plus rather pricey shipping to Japan) that way.
But one Doug Clapp book I want very badly is no where to be found. I've had an Amazon pre-order open on it for the past 3 years, offering $75 for it in only "Acceptable" condition: The Macintosh Hacker's Bible. It's a real shame that excellent vintage computing books like this are impossible to find now. No doubt it must be able in local libraries in the US, but for those of us outside the US (especially here in Japan), there is no access whatsoever to those tomes.
