Here's a few more ideas for where to post rare book requests:
1. On Usenet: rec.arts.books has frequent posts from collectors and
dealers in rare books.
2. On Usenet: rec.collecting has rare book dealers announcing themselves
regularly.
3. On Compuserve (not Internet but..): COLLECTors forum has a section
"Books & Media" where there's a lot of activity, dealers and collectors.
Want lists are posted in the library.
4. On Internet: via anon ftp to rtfm.mit.edu, there's a list of book
catalogues and clubs under /pub/usenet/news.answers/books/catalogues.
5. On Internet: Book Stacks Unlimited offers an online catalog/order
service (270,000 titles). More importantly, they have a message board for
book requests (very active). Telnet to books.com and follow the
instructions for login.
Hope this helps.
