Default Good online retailers?

I figure checking with you gents would be a better idea than using ye olde google.

Good websites for WW2 publications? The only one I still have a bookmark for is jjf, and while good, their books are on the pricey side.

Any other sites to check out? My hiatus has left me with scant recollection of quality online retailers...

Abebooks is always worth a shufti (first port of call for anything obscure) :
AbeBooks: New Books, Secondhand Books, Rare Books, Out-of-Print Books .uk
AbeBooks: New & Used Books, Textbooks, Rare & Out of Print Books .com
Provides links into many specialist retailers too.

Cheers,
Adam.

I'd suggest paul meekins books although based in the UK does world wide shipping and as well as selling new books does second hand as well....

Lightbulb Re: Good online retailers?

I use 'Bookfinder' a lot and often find books via Abebooks, as von Poop has recommended. I have yet to have a bad experience with any of their dealers.....

As usual, appreciate the info!

Good lord- the Paul Meekins catalog... just opened the "by title" pdf- 232 pages!!

Abebooks looks superb as well.

I've got some choosing to do!

I've known Paul, both as a bookseller and before, for many years.
His stock-list is remarkable, but be absolutely sure to check around for prices before buying... He didn't pay for his Jeep by providing us with bargains .

Cheers,
Adam.

Abe and bookfinder are good. Also Antiqbook.com (although their database is sometimes outdated and i get a mail back once i na while that a certain book has already been sold.)

Alibris.com and Biblio.com I also use. So far all with 100% satisfaction.
