- I used the following company to find a book for me several years ago. Whether
- or not the address is still current, I haven't a clue. If it is, they located
- my book in a reasonable short time, and it wasn't outrageously priced.
-
- International Bookfinders
- Box 1
- Pacific Palisades, CA 90272
-
- I never had a telephone number for them; I wrote to them regarding the book
- I wanted; they confirmed receipt of my letter and sent me a postcard or
- similar notification when they found the book. I sent them a check, received
- the book, and that was that. Hope this helps.
