Source for Used Pattern Books?

I have been pretty successful finding pattern books used on Ebay or Abe Books when I see something I like but have hit a brick wall with Gypsy Wife Pattern Booklet. Maybe it is an ebook and that is why no used available, but then can't imagine a used book going for the same or more than new?! Any sources for specifically quilting/craft books used/vintage besides the Amazon/ebay/Abe route that could be checked (and supported) when looking for used pattern books?

http://www.bookfinder.com searches numerous online sites. It's my go-to site for any books.

Those two places are my usually hunting grounds for quilting books. There are some books that have had limited printing and they are for sale at very high unreasonable prices. Look to see if your local library can get a copy for you. Temporary is better than nothing.

This won't tend to work for a specific title, but I have found many craft books, including quilt books, at places like Goodwill for 50c. Both older and newer titles.
