#19 Discovering Web 2.0 tools

I really liked Biblio.com. It is an online bookstore for rare and out of print books. People are often seeking rare or out of print titles in the library. This site allows us to search over 50 million out of print books. Biblio is a US driven site but users can search just within Australia and New Zealand or broaden the search overseas. Searching can be done by title, author or ISBN. Other features I liked were that prices could be translated into Australian currency. Also, searches can be done on first edition copies, signed copies, paperbacks or hardcovers. The book condition status is also included.
