I'm very surprised that no one mentioned http://www.addall.com/
Addall is to books what Pricegrabber is to electronics.  If you're 
looking for the cheapest price on a book, or just a hard-to-find title, 
it's definitely the first stop.  It's also one of my wife's favorite 
websites, which makes it worth mentioning that she's a reference 
librarian.  :)
