Looking for Books - Anonymous - 01-24-2002
I've spent the past few weeks tearing what's left of my hair out after being quoted a price of £190 (yup, that's sterling) for Eric Birley's Roman Britain and the Roman Army: Collected Papers.<br>
<br>
I've just ordered it at a cost of £10 plus £3 postage from a seller in the UK.<br>
<br>
The site wasn't able to get me a copy of Collingwood and Wright's Roman Inscriptions of Britain, but I still think it's worth a look....<br>

I just logged into Justbooks, and they say they're an 'AbeBooks' company. No idea how they differentiate then.<br>
<br>
Bookfinder looks more extensive than Abebooks, but do they have a 'alert wants' capability? that's how I've been getting alerts on the Robinson copies that come available. <p>Aulus, Legio XX.

The nice thing about justbooks is that you contact the seller direct (who isn't justbooks, they just charge a comission.) and then sort out payment with the seller, so for someone without a credit card shopping on the net becomes a little bit easier<br>
<br>
Thanks for the reference to bookfinder, that's how I got to justbooks in the first place.<br>
<br>
I still can't find a copy of RIB volume one for less than £70 - £80 though <p>Veni Vidi Bibi</p><i></i>
