I used the following company to find a book for me several years ago.  Whether
or not the address is still current, I haven't a clue.  If it is, they located
my book in a reasonable short time, and it wasn't outrageously priced.

     International Bookfinders
     Box 1
     Pacific Palisades, CA  90272

I never had a telephone number for them; I wrote to them regarding the book
I wanted; they confirmed receipt of my letter and sent me a postcard or
similar notification when they found the book.  I sent them a check, received
the book, and that was that.  Hope this helps.
