I know, this seems like it should be obvious and intuitive but I having trouble figuring out just how to search for them.

Specifically at this moment, I'm looking for vintage, older marine biology and marine science books, like old stuff from Jacques Cousteau or old early edition text books.  But I can't seem to put the right things in search engines.  I'm looking for those books that are a dollar or two...

Any ideas?

If Amazon fails me I use Google Shopping. You can also search for book dealers in your area and maybe libraries that are having fund raisers. Because I live so close to USMA, my local library has some real treasures that I have picked up for pennies and almost felt guilty about it.

Alibris was the source of most of my aviation history collection.
