if you're looking for 'hard to find' books try: 

https://www.abebooks.com/

used bookstores from all over the world sell their used and rare books
there.


Your first step is to know  the title of the book...
advance search you can use keywords instead.

people sell books for $500.00, but you can find the same book for $2.50.
