I use Bookfinder.com on a regular basis to find DRM free dead tree books. It searches across all of the big new/used book vendors and also the smaller “thrift store / Goodwill” book dealers (even eBay buy now) Sorts in New and Used groupings then by price.
But like the software “Quality, Cost, Delivery” triangle, the delivery is 99% by USPS media mail, so it’s 5-7 business days to get the book.
It would be interesting to see Bookshop to hookup with Bookfinder to give them another search method.

- AstroJetson 2y agoNow I'm sad. It reminds me of this chart that shows that 10 companies own a huge swath of the major brands. https://www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/comments/11dvxaj/a_chart_showing_what_companies_own_which_brands/#lightbox https://www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/comments/11dvx...
