For used books on music try http://www.rdooley.demon.co.uk/.  Good
selection, fast air shipping.  E-mail her your want list.  Also take a
look at bibliofind, http://www.bibliofind.com/.  A clearinghouse for used
and collectible books, many items on music including scores.  Participating
stores worldwide.  Sample entry (seller and price omitted):

Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus:  Eighteen Concertos for Piano and Orchestra ;
London:  Ernst Euelnberg, NF, Three volumes.;, Music

In the USA I like to use Eble Music in Iowa City, IA.  They do not have
online ordering, but you can e-mail them for info (no e-mail orders taken
as yet) at [log in to unmask]  Their website is www.eble.com, and you
can get their fax number there.  I imagine they can tell you whether or not
they can supply an item.  Expert staff, very knowledgeable!

A site I haven't used but which looks very promising is
http://www.dacapo.com.au/.  Their stock is indexed in Bibliofind.  They are
in Australia.  They deal in used and antiquarian books and sheet music.

You could also try in the UK:

Blackwell's Music Shop
38 Holywell Street
Oxford OX1 3SW
Tel: (01865) 792792
Fax: (01865) 248833

I'd like to hear about other contributors' favorite places to get music
scores and books!
