Does anyone out there know where I can find rather obscure (antique) books for sale? I am looking for
this set of encyclopedias by Edward Joseph Lowe:

Ferns, British and Exotic (8 volumes). London: Groombridge and Sons. 1857.

Please boost!

@GregorDeBalzac Have you tried Sotherans? https://sotherans.co.uk/

It sounds like something they might have

Sotheran's Rare Books and Prints

Offering the finest quality collectable and decorative books and prints in London since 1761.

@stufromoz ooooh nice! I don’t see the books I want, but I found a signed first edition John Le Carré omnibus my dad would like! Only 3000£! 😅

@GregorDeBalzac They are a great place for finding odd stuff.

The other place might be to check the auction houses, some of them do auctions of rare/old books from time to time

@GregorDeBalzac I’m too lazy to look it up myself but perhaps Alhambra Books in Edmonton, Alberta might carry it? https://www.abebooks.com/alhambra-books-edmonton-ab-canada/3054340/sf
