Bookfinder.com was taken over by either Alibris or ABEBooks - I think Alibris,
about 10
years ago. They have had the good sense to not tamper with its functionality
or
appearance greatly. The only clue I get these days is something to do with
links - which I
can not recall precisely at the moment.
They didn't make the ( in my opinion) mistake that Amazon did a few years
before when
they took over www.bibliofind.com. Amazon completely absorbed it into their
system.
If you type 'www.bibliofind.com' into your browser address line you will see
what I mean ...
I suspect that the three women who created bibliofind, re-emerged their talent
as
bookfinder. The interface is so similar ...
