Can anyone refer me to/forward a current list of reputable check-first
vendors for out of print monographs (for item replacement purposes, not
specialized editions, etc.)? I'm particularly interested in reputation
(turn-around time, item quality matches description, consistently reasonable
pricing...) factors that would allow me to prioritze vendors. Also, can
anyone offer recommendations/warnings, based on experience, on the library
purchase of used monographs (again for replacement purposes, not specialized
editions) through independent sellers listed on Amazon?

Thank you,
Merinda
