From the Publisher:

The Used Book Lover's Guides are designed to assist book lovers save time and money while searching for used, out-of-print and antiquarian books. The books can be used as travel guides to help you plan your book hunting trips or as desk references when you want to contact dealers by phone, mail or on-line., The guides give you all the information you need to find the books you're searching for, including: a detailed description of the dealer's stock, including specialties and the approximate size of the collection, store hours, easy to follow travel directions, city, regional and state maps, dealer services, e-mail addresses and web sites, a comprehensive Specialty Index and valuable comments about the stores (based on the authors' actual visits) that help you decide if the store is likely to have the types of books you're interested in.

A sample comment for a shop in Texas. Now that I've made my purchases, I don't mind if the rest of the world discovers this shop. One can find best sellers and recent books almost anywhere (and this shop has its fair share). But, this shop is particularly strong in vintage titles in almost every field--and the prices are right. The shop is well labeled and the owner has a delicious sense of humor. P.S. Try to arrive during the owner's anniversary month and enjoy a discount based on the number of years she's been in business (25 years and 25% when we visited).
