Hello Andrei Searches via Booksearch are usually pretty good because they cover the major book selling sites, others swear by another called addall. One site isn't listed by those sites is ukbookworld. It doesn't have the Marwick at the moment but it can be a useful place to find scarce UK books because some booksellers only list there. http://www.http://ukbookworld.com/cgi-bin/search.pl Moi > Normally such pages are frontends that just redirect to places like Amazon > which tell you in their turn that your wanted title is not available. > > Andrei > > P.S.

If you don't know of it,,Alibris is another good one. http://tinyurl.com/2c2dxp Many of these rare book sites also have some way of placing a request for whatever you are looking for. They may not have it, but can sometimes turn one up later and let you know.

Thank you Moi, I remember I had a bad experience with UKBookWorld last year... I think I'd rather wait for the re-issue of "Orkney Norn", hopefully it will be published soon.
