Introduction to BibliOZ.com

BibliOZ.com is a website enabling online searching and secure purchasing of over 20 million out-of-print and collectable books from more than 3,000 booksellers worldwide.

It is produced by BiblioQuest International, Australia's leading booksearch service since 1994, and is part of the world's biggest network of independent booksellers. The BibliOZ.com Book Search Wizard is a separate but complementary service to the BiblioQuest Global BookSearch Service. It is generally less expensive to purchase books online using BibliOZ.com rather than the BiblioQuest Global BookSearch Service as the prices are discounted and do not include the labour and ordering costs associated with having a personalised search conducted on your behalf by an expert booksearcher/librarian, the compiling and sending of quotes and the processing of a physical order.

All books listed on BibliOZ.com are generally secondhand, though you need to read their descriptions as some are listed as "Fine" or "Mint" which means as if they were new. They are listed at different prices because the supplier dealers set the underlying price. Secondhand books do not have a recomended retail price and in fact can often exceed the price of the book when new as its relative scarcity can increase its value. If you cannot locate the copy of the book you want after searching the more than 15 million listed on BibliOZ, then you are advised to click on the link to the BiblioQuest Global BookSearch Service and the professionally-trained staff there will attempt to find you a copy free of charge using our other systems and send you a no-obligation quote.

To order books on BibliOZ.com you can register as a user with a user name and password, though registration is not compulsory. However our system needs to calculate freight costs and sales tax (if applicable) so some details are required before creating an order. There are many other benefits to being a registered BibliOZ user, including having access to your order history, both for previous and current orders. Click on the "Why Register" button on the left side menu to see the full list of reasons.

To list books on the BibliOZ.com system you need to be a secondhand bookseller with sufficient stock to make it worthwhile, usually several thousand books, as there is a monthly subscription fee ranging from AU$50 per month and upwards depending upon the number of books listed. If you are a secondhand or antiquarian bookseller wanting to list on BibliOZ.com then contact admin@biblioz.com for more information.
