I get most of them on ebay and Amazon.com’s used books, though I look on bookfinder.com as well. How do I know what to look for? Well, that is another matter entirely–I ask around to friends on eatingchinese.org, I asked Grace Young, and I ask other Chinese cooking teachers. I looked up the library catalogues for the two largest Chinese cookbook collections, and copied titles there and searched for them on the internet. Sometimes, I just search on ebay and see what is available and learn about titles that way.

And, I comb used bookstores. And it is amazing what I can find.

But I have been very lucky in my ebay and Amazon purchases. Often, I have managed to aquire quite rare books which generally go for very high prices very inexpensively. I’ve also scored some signed copies of books, as well, for incredibly low prices.
