Yes. Some with the librarians and other bookbuyers still hanging on with their teeth.
Suggested site: Abebooks.com have a really great, searchable range of almost impossible to find, out of print, books. I've been writing a book called War Is A State Of Mind, and even the official histories are out of print. So I have to get an Australian history from an American bookstore. The print industry must be the most inefficient, market-insensitive, of all media, and that ain't good.

Yeah only online though. And I only buy them off of esteemed websites like Amazon where there's less risk of being a scam. And also because Amazon has some guarantees to protect the people who order the books via their website.

Yes I buy old books both antiquarian (over 100 yrs) old and used old. I've worked as a book scout off and on since my college days and now have my own business selling books (& a few other things) on and off line. For my personal use I pick up books at estate sales, thrift shops and auctions for less money than my library fees sometimes run.

Yes I do buy old books and love them.Because a book is old and maybe a little worn in,does not effect the content of the book and its worth for all who lev to read.Rather it be an old book or a new one, the information inside the book is still well worth the price.
