I have been using ABE Books, an online search service (www.abebooks.com) which links together booksellers in the UK and the US. Its speciality is in finding rare and out of print books on any topic you care to imagine.

I have to report a high degree of satisfaction with the service, although occasionally I have found that some books listed are no longer available from the bookstore in question, as they don't update their lists too often.

A special facility is the "wants" list where you can place an order for a book you want. Provided that one of ABE's subscribers gets the book in you will be notified of it immediately. Payment for books is between yourself and the bookseller, but many use secure credit card payment methods for immediate online purchase.

Definitely one to use.
