You can sometimes find a $20 dollar difference between the two. A few years ago I started buying some old juviniles for my son (now 11). These included "We Were There at Pearl Harbor," "The Battle of Midway" by Irving Werstein and "Have Spacesuit will Travel" by Heinlein. They actually got him away from his Nintendo for a few days. I actually read the Werstein book when I was 8 or 9. I swear by ABEBooks and Alibris.com Both sell used books and when looking for a specific title I check both sites.

It's a little-known (apparently) resource for buying used books from secondhand bookstores around the world, and I always check it against eBay and Amazon when I see something I want in those places. It's rare when some bookseller on ABEBooks is not lower. http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?bi=0&bx=off&ds=30&sortby=2&sts=t&tn=a+ship+to+remember+hornet&x=0&y=0
