BookGilt - Antiquarian and Rare Book Search Engine

A metasearch for serious book collectors.

Let's face it. Finding antiquarian and rare books online has become a chore. Even most metasearch engines aren't making it as easy as they once did. With the proliferation of irrelevant material, low quality listings, PODs, e-books and the like, collectors waste too much of their valuable time trying to filter out the "noise".

We think its time to re-imagine the metasearch concept and how it could be used to simplify finding books. What you see here is just a start of a larger vision to transform the way collectors are able to find rare and antiquarian books online. Curious what sets us apart?

While we're not new to this game, we're building BookGilt as if we were: step by step with the grassroots feedback and support of our book collecting and bookselling friends. So, please tell us what works, what doesn't, what you like, what you don't like, what you'd like to see for the future.
