Blackwell Book Services has been doing a great job for us with North
America English language imprints.  They are also willing to let you know
of  "price and availability" ahead of time, and do not hold it against you
should you be unwilling to settle for an item and instead keep on searching.
Their prices are generally reasonable (more so than other OP vendors I've
tried).  If interested, contact Bob.Langhorst_at_Blackwell.com
Good luck!

Chris,
I just posed this question and received a number of responses on
and off the list.  You might want to try looking at the archives for this
info
and I'll e-mail you what I have. This might save others a bit of time.

Advanced Book Exchange works best for us, especially since we can
order from multiple dealers with one order (they charge once and distribute
the money to each dealer on our behalf). www.abe.com

www.bookfinder.com has a bigger database but is much slower and harder
to use, plus you still must order each item directly from the vendor,
not bookfinder.
