There are free search engines dedicated to indexing over 150 million online book listings, searchable by any criteria you can imagine, from author and title to a user-specified ranges of publications dates, to keywords describing an edition, (e.g. gilt edging, leather, or signed editions). These sites instantaneously populate qualifying results across all known new and used book marketplaces, sort results by price including shipping, and you're on your way.

The two holy grails for this are bookfinder.com and vialibri.net. They've never failed me.

Definitely let me know if you score any finds using these sites. Merry Christmas, batty.
