Looking for some WWI books and/or cheap online bookstores

[odin]

I'm looking for
The First World War - John Keegan
and
The Pity of War - Niall Ferguson.

I've looked on EBay and found the first book. Nevertheless I'd like to know if there are any decent online second hand bookstores located in the UK or Europe (trying to avoid long shipping periods and stuff) or perhaps someone here has these books in surplus?

Hmm, amazon.co.uk have a secondhand book dealer feature.
Have you searched under there?

Not sure if it'll help, but I used to buy all my Belgian music from Proxis.be and they also sell books. I always found their service was sh!t hot.

Just out of interest I found the WWI booky by Hew Strachan (The First World War) to be a very good general overview of the topics of the conflict.

What about getting them from the library if you can't find them? Here in the UK we can request copies of books to either be brought to the local library or bought in. Not a lot of people know you can do this, but you apparently can. You country is redder than ours, maybe you can too. ;-)

You can do that here too.
Great idea, the library. Isn't it funny how nobody even thinks of it anymore?

Well, yes. I've got one from the library now. The problem is that the course I'm following now has about 200 students and there are about 2 copies of the book in the uni library. I.e. it's been reserved to death :-).

I know that feeling!!!
I remember people on my course would run to the library and take out the course book, and keep renewing the book for months, so no-one else could get it. The sad thing was, more often than not, they were the lazy students who failed the course; As if they got the books so they could boast to their fellow students, rather than actually reading the damn things  :pissed:
