French language book store (used)

[Tristan Welles]

I have been having some difficulty using the interTubes to try and find a few antiquarian books in French and thought this might be a good place to ask.

I would need to ship to the U.S., examples of things I am looking for:

-Memoires du Duc de Saint Simon, Boislisle edition. I would have thought this would be a straight forward purchase, but sets are rare, perhaps due to the extended range of publishing.

-journals of Stendhal, good turn of the 20th century edition.

-AMR Noailles: Bernard De Saxe-Weimar, 1604 A 1639: Et La Reunion De L'Alsace a La France (published 1908)

etc.

Thanks for entertaining the odd request.

Have you tried http://www.chapitre.com ?

You might also try Amazon.fr., which, I think, connects with used bookstores. But Cliff is right. Chapitre is your best bet.

I've been a big fan of Chapitre.

You could also try these

used.addall.com
-good metasearch for used books

abebooks.com
-good for narrowing down choices when there are many

I have definitely tried Amazon.fr without much luck.

Thanks very much for the Chapitre reference, I suspect that is exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks as well to Don.
