Anyways.. I took a walk a few days ago with my wife into "OLD TOWN CLOVIS" Its a town in the central valley of California just east of Fresno. I came across a book store with a crazy amount old and forgotten books. The owner barely stays in business in this time and age.
Many of the books so old they seems to crack and moan with every turn of the page.
So much ww2 material it almost stops my heart( and im only 43yrs old)
I feel like Indy from the Indiana Jones Movies.
ITS AWESOME!

I've had very good luck with the used book sellers on Amazon. I can't recall a time I've had a book sent that was not in the condition they described it as. I just have a personal rule: don't buy books that cost more than $10 unless it's a very special something. Amazon has never let me down on this!
