I tried it, and the site is just wonderful. There's hardly a used railway title I couldn't find on it. Even found a copy of "Painting of Railway Equipment," Simmons-Boardman 1924, written by Lackawanna shopforeman Miller. I've only ever seen one other copy in circulation. I bought it. Two copies of Shay Locomotive are on there -- that's just about the rarest of the rare. Thanks, Jeff Aley, for suggesting the site. All the best, ....Mike

While we're still off topic, you may also find http://www.bibliofind.com/
to be helpful. Note that neither Advanced Book Exchange (ABE) nor Bibliofind are actual booksellers. Instead they contain listings from many smaller book dealers. As a result, each web site might find the same book. Other search sites: http://www.bookfinder.com/ http://www.ippi.com/antiquarian-archive.html http://www.alibris.com/home.cfm Best of luck! -Jeff On Dec 12, 6:37pm, MDelvec952@aol.com wrote: Subject: Re: [STMFC] Used book sitesthe site is just wonderful.

In the interest of making the STMFC more useful, I will compile a simple

document containing links to internet railroad book dealers, and will keep it reasonably up to date, and the document will be maintained in the files area of STMFC. I will start with Jeff's list and a few dozen (!) that I have found myself over the past few years... This is one of the features about egroups that I really like. For example a member of the steamloco group compiled a list of prototypes for HO scale non-brass steam locomotive models. That type of thing has real value, IMO. If people wanted to use STMFC to preview articles, or just "publish" in the files area, I think that would be great! We could use STMFC for serious sharing and collaboration, whereas FCL is for general "probing" for information and modeling chat. P.S. As Jeff notes, there is a difference between booksellers and "index" (or "portal") web sites. I will keep them separate in the list.

I wasn't sure what Jared was replying to, so, since I was reading his post on the web, I clicked the <back> arrow to see the previous post in the thread. (The thread "Used book sites".) Got a jolt when the previous post turned out to be from Richard Hendrickson of Ashland, Oregon! Then I saw the date of Richard's post: 12/12/2000. Dang, I thought for a moment..... I've noticed before thatĀ if you choose a topic title that matches word for word one that has been used,previously, no matter how long in the past that might have been, your post will show as a reply to that thread and not as a new one.
