Sacramento Bee, Between the Lines: Spring Reading (February 22, 2010)

You have a book in mind, but you don't know where to find it. You may know the author but not the title, or vice versa. It could be obscure or out of print. OK, how about the Wordsworth Classics edition of Thomas Hardy's "Jude the Obscure"? I entered that into the 150 million-title database at www.bookfinder.com and came up with a list of inter-national sources that sell it new (11 copies) and used (26 copies). Caution: The shipping cost is often more than the price of the book.

The Post and Courier, Build your own library to aid search (February 21, 2010)

Check with genealogy buddies or reference librarians to ensure the books you note are what you expect before purchasing them. If you can't afford to buy a book new, visit BookFinder.com and check the used book titles periodically to see if it shows up.

Hays Daily News, Gonzales commentary: A few must reeds (January 17, 2010)

So once I got past that annoying Kindle ad on Amazon, I was able to confirm what I found at BookFinder.com, another favorite Web site. At BookFinder I ran across what I thought was a favorite book of mine from my high school days. All I had to go on was it was written by Ernie Pyle, a famous World War II correspondent.

Fairbanks Daily News Miner, Used book sales can be a repository for the strange and wonderful (January 11, 2010)

My book-hunting site of choice is BookFinder.com, since it is so comprehensive. It searches most of the big databases, including AbeBooks, Powell's Books, Alibris, and Amazon.com. BookFinder also includes fuller descriptions of the books' conditions. Take a British children's book featured in the latest Weird Books section of AbeBooks: Angela Royston's "Why Do I Vomit?" The plaintive cover inspired recollection of my dentistry book, but I won't buy it from AbeBooks, where Royston's tome is listed from 25.48-31.65 pounds sterling. That's $40.69-$50.76, but at BookFinder it's only $4.74.

South Florida Sun-Sentinel, The Smart Collector (December 10, 2009)

Q: How do I find an appraiser or an auction house that specializes in what I have? I have a bunch of first edition John Grisham books to sell. A: Many readers ask about how to sell. I'm here to tell you that anyone can be a smart seller simply by following basic steps. We've covered the MO before, but based on number of queries received, it bears repeating: First, know what you have. The first reader has contemporary literature, so I suggest a look at major used booksellers to find the going retail rate. Key www.abebooks.com, www.biblio.com, and www.bookfinder.com for those Grisham titles. Compare their prices with completed sales on eBay. After a scan, you'll know what you have.

Computer Active (United Kingdom), For what it's worth: Turn your trash into treasure - and get a fair price (November 26, 2009)

It's also a good starting point for valuing other books. If you have a large collection, you could call in a dealer from a second-hand bookshop, but be aware they are likely to offer around a third of the price they hope to sell each for. Log on to BookFinder (BookFinder.com) to get an idea of values.

UTNE Reader, Browsing 150 Million Books (November 18, 2009)

If you're a book lover, you're probably already aware of Bookfinder, an appealingly stripped-down search engine that gives you access to over 150 million books available for sale online. If you're a serious collector, you can narrow your search by looking only for, say, first editions and/or signed copies. And it displays results sorted by price, so it's easy to find a good deal -- especially if you're willing to live with a little edgewear.

New York Times Blog, The Tale of the Deflowered Girl (November 13, 2009)

Last January, an anonymous poster at LiveJournal put up a complete scan of what seemed to be a forgotten book by Edward Gorey, "The Recently Deflowered Girl: The Right Thing to Say on Every Dubious Occasion," a retro etiquette manual credited to one Hyacinthe Phypps. The post drew so many hits that it crashed the site, and the book shot to the top of BookFinder.com's list of the most searched-for out-of-print books.

New York Times, Bookstores and Beyond (October 26, 2009)

Discounts are not so big for used books at college bookstores, and their supplies tend to run out quickly. But Web sites are picking up the slack. Prices are all over the lot, and you could spend hours looking for the best value browsing Bookfinder.com.

Americana Exchange, BookFinder's Top 10's: A Sign of the Times (October 1, 2009)

BookFinder.com has issued its annual lists of the most sought after out-of-print books. The times they are a-changin'. A lot has happened since last year's lists were compiled at the end of August 2008. The stock market collapsed and the world economy fell into a tailspin. People lost their jobs and houses. A new President was elected in America unlike any we've seen before. And, people's tastes in out-of-print books changed with the times. Eight of the ten categories of books tracked by BookFinder have new titles at the top of their popularity lists for the twelve months ending with August 2009.

The Canberra Times (Australia), Out-of-print and in demand (September 29, 2009)

BookFinder.com has tracked the most sought-after out-of-print titles in America. The newly-released seventh annual edition is based on aggregate reader demand between July 2008 and June 2009. This years list was influenced by both pop culture and financial chaos, each driving readers to seek out-of-print books ranging from a saucy memoir revealing a real housewife of New Jersey to nearly forgotten exposes on the Wall Street and the US Federal Reserve.

Word Count (Orlando Sentinel), Bookfinder.com's would-be bestsellers (September 22, 2009)

Anybody clearing out their bookshelves on Ebay would do well to take a look at the latest report over at Bookfinder.com. The ambitious website has compiled its list of the most sought-after out-of-print books in the US, based on "aggregate reader demand between July 2008 and June 2009". Interesting list for a lot of reasons, depending on the category. Bookfinder cites reasons for the demand on some of these titles - any book about the economy can be attributed to hindsight curiosity spurred by the recession, for instance. Some of the rest are easy to figure out, like the #1 spot on the "Fiction & Literature" list (Dennis Potter's Ticket to Ride, which got a massive boost from Twilight-heads when Robert Pattinson casually mentioned it). Me, I'm just surprised to see anything by Stephen King or Nora Roberts out of print.

Auction Bytes, BookFinder Releases Seventh Annual BookFinder.com Report (September 20, 2009)

The seventh annual BookFinder.com report is now available online.

BookFinder.com is an ecommerce search engine that searches over 150 million books for sale - new, used, rare, out-of-print, and textbooks.

New York Times, The Wayback List (September 18, 2009)

BookFinder.com recently released its annual list of the most sought-after out-of-print books. The entries range from the obviously topical "Wall Street Under Oath", "The Energy Non-Crisis", "Cop Without a Badge" (which apparently contains a less than flattering portrait of one of the stars of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey"), to the timeless and vaguely reassuring: "Aran Knitting", "The Butterfly Book", "Like a Prairie Fire: A History of the Assemblies of God in Oklahoma." The list has come to serve as a kind of "Antiques Roadshow" for publishers hoping to find lucrative out-of-print titles in the attic. And in a just world, Edward Gorey's 1965 manual "The Recently Deflowered Girl: The Right Thing to Say on Every Dubious Occasion" (to be reissued in November by Bloomsbury) would be cuddling up next to 50 Cent on the how-to and advice list. Alas, some of BookFinder's juiciest titles seem to be in permanent retirement, like Madonna's "Sex" and Lynne Cheney's lesbian-tinged bodice-ripper, "Sisters". In a more just world, those would be a boxed set.

The Seattle Times, The Master and Margarita (August 2, 2009)

Why not heighten the hallucinatory effects of our sweltering summer by revisiting this posthumous masterpiece by Russian novelist Mikhail Bulgakov (1891-1940). The book is set in a 1930s Moscow "scorched to a crisp" where the devil and his cohorts . including a large, talking, bulletproof cat . create incessant havoc ... all in aid of a novelist who's written a most peculiar tale about Pontius Pilate. In the 1996 Vintage edition, two superb translators, Diana Burgin and Katherine Tiernan O'Connor, deliver the tale with a bright, savage, incendiary whimsy. Out of print, but available secondhand through www.bookfinder.com for reasonable prices.

The Financial Times (United Kingdom), Long-distance love (May 30, 2009)

In the 1970s large numbers of people began running for the first time. John L Parker, himself a former champion runner, wrote a novel about the habit in 1978. But no publisher wanted 'Once A Runner', so Parker self-published it. He sold copies at races out of the boot of his car, and a cult developed around the book. In 2007, search engine BookFinder.com rated it the most sought after out-of-print book in the US. This spring, the book was republished -- this time by Scribner, a commercial publisher in the US.

CNET News, Why ebooks aren't cheaper (May 27, 2009)

We've all heard the rant. With ebooks, there's no paper, printing, transportation and so forth. So why should an ebook still cost $9.99 (in the typical Kindle case) or even more? The idea makes a lot of intuitive sense. If everything you physically hold in your hand and everything it took to deliver that physical good to your hand can be converted to a few megabytes worth of electrons, surely the cost of the book must be dramatically lower than a typical hardcover--and the price should reflect that fact. The problem is that the costs aren't nearly as much lower as you might believe. Here's one breakdown from Money Magazine for a hardcover bestseller by way of the BookFinder.com Journal.
