After the '02 quake, d@vid was discovered buried under the fantasy section in the Westville Municipal Library. The trauma had activated his X-gene, lending him mutant book sourcing powerz and a compulsion to provide website links in CLAWmarks articles. On the run from PASA security bots, he assists the rebellion by sourcing obscure titles. Admittedly he had the weblink compulsion for some time beforehand.

ideally this would be a hub of book-sourcing activity, but in fact I often forget to update what I'm currently sourcing - 'cause it really only matters to the sourcee, I guess
anyway, feel free to add your request to the top of the list (blogstyle), or email me or just speak to me
alternatively, if you have comments on a title that does get listed here, add 'em! (eg, you have a second hand copy you want to sell, you've seen it at OuterLimits et cetera)
the more info the better (cf, Mad About Books, CLAWmarks30?, and Other useful book info below) but if I know what you're talking about I can do the ISBN/publisher research meself

in reference to my comments in the MAB article, most barcodes now list EAN-13s and ISBNs?, so the switch over to EAN-13s will probably be quite smooth; ISBNs? translated to EANs? begin 978- (so they'll be 978-oldISBN-newcheckdigit), new book EANs? will begin 979- (EAN check digits will be 0-9, never X as with ISBNs?)
I think adrianna wrote a CLAWmarks article about 'em - see also the sometimes decent sf&f stock at ObzBooks
