Hi All,

There are a couple of titles I'm looking for and was wondering if anyone knows of any good places for used photo books, or just unsold new books?

Thanks!

I always try Alibris first. Alibris.com in your case.

You might also want to check-out Half Price Books (https://www.hpb.com/)
I heard good things about them.

I've had some luck with abebooks.co.uk on a number of occasions

Postscript books in the UK buys unsold stock from publishers and sell them at up to 75% discount. Right now they have more than 200 photo books, but how interesting they are depends on what you're after. I've bought quite a few there and the shipping is not bad.
