From: "Greg Ruckert" <greg at ezi-learn.com.au> on 1998.12.13 at 01:44:52(2812) Can anyone suggest a good source for old/out of print/second-hand botanical books?

Greg, This guy in California is very good. He specializes in books botanical. The dealer is: Brooks Books PO Box 21473 Concord CA 94521 Phone: 510 672-4566 Owned by Phil & Martha Nesty They publish a catalog a couple tomes a year, and they will do searches. I have purchased from them a couple of times and have not been disappointed. He handles credit card transactions so I imagine he will ship overseas. Don +More Don Burns Plantation, FL USA Zone 10b

I've had success buying from these two sources: http://www.abebooks.com/ http://www.bibliofind.com/ +More Both of them house many bookstores and you can run key word searches. I like abebooks the best and have bought many books through them. Good luck, Manny Lorenzo
