I've used abe books for some time. I've just found out that it has been acquired by Amazon

Thanks for that news, Lolly. I knew they received the books from other companies but had no idea of the size of their company.
I wonder if it will work the same under Amazon.

I’ve used AbeBooks without knowing it was linked to Amazon as well.
AbeBooks Inc. is a subsidiary of Amazon.com, Inc. AbeBooks, an online bookselling pioneer, was acquired in December 2008 and remains a stand-alone operation with headquarters in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, and a European office in Munich, Germany.
