Extract

Here are some valuable tips for searching the web professionally for antiquarian books, and some helpful quality control for some of the book metasearch engines. It is important to remember that it is much more productive to use one of these engines than simply to use Abebooks. One can also search for books at auctions, although this takes a lot more time since no metasearch engines are currently available.
