Where can you find the original hardcover books if the book is an older book?

Question

I am looking for some Mary Higgins Clark books that are the original hardcover. I don't want the kind that has the book jacket on it I rather have the one that doesn't. I can't seem to find these kind of books anywhere. I know that my school library has these books but I am sure they get it through a school program where I cannot order from. If you can please try to tell me where I can find them that would be great.

I have tried amazon.com, ebay.com, b-n.com, borders.com. It seems like I have tried every bookstore website.

Answer 1

Amazon is a good one, but if that's not happening for you, here are some other ideas.

You could do a "Want It Now" post on eBay. You can tell potential sellers what you want. This is a popular author, so I think someone out there should have something for you.

Also, try www.addall.com and/or www.fetchbooks.info. I have used these sites in the past when I've tried to price a book I couldn't find on Amazon. They are tied in to many on-line bookstores and will show what is available.

You might contact the actual publisher. They may have something for you. I'm assuming this author had many titles printed by the same company.

When you are buying, make sure you read book descriptions if you pay on-line. The library binding might have marks from being part of a library (stamps and stickers). If you don't want that, you'd end up disappointed.

Answer 2

Most hardback novels published recently have book jackets. If you don't like them, you can always take them off. You can buy used books often without jackets, and a site I like to use is:
www.abebooks.com

Also, sometimes www.amazon.com has library binding editions of books available, but not always.

Answer 3

biblio.com

I think they let you enter the books you are looking for and will e-mail you when it becomes available from one of their sellers.

Answer 4

try amazon/ebay, thoes types of places
