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 ...
