Link Du Jour: Can You Find This Book?
I usually talk about new books in these pages. It’s fun to hold up your hand, shield your eyes from the sun, and squint into the horizon to see what’s coming. Then a teacher comes and asks if you can drum up 20 copies of Mickey’s Magnet for her second grade students.

As a school librarian, it helps to have a source for out-of-print and hard-to-find titles. If for no other reason than for people to think you have the amazing ability to find any book, at any time.
Add Biblio.com to your arsenal of book finding tools. The site allows you to track down and purchase books that have been put out to pasture. Click the image below to start looking.

Great tip–thanks!
If I was wealthy (REALLY wealthy) I would shop in their Rare books section. No Mickey’s Magnet for me. I would buy the $52,000 1st edition set of The Chronicles of Narnia, the $9,00 first edition Lolita, or the $85,000 signed first edition of The Theory of Relativity.
Thanks for the post.
