Top Out-Of-Print Books For 2012
Written by Brandon Williams on Tuesday, August 28th, 201298-99% of all books are currently out of print, for various reasons. It could be that they aren’t popular to justify printing them continually, maybe the author doesn’t want the book out there. BookFinder.com has put out a list of the top 13 out-of-print books ranked by popularity (or demand). Hopefully we’ll be seeing some of these books back on shelves, perhaps with snazzy new covers.
And think, if you have one of these books on your bookshelf collecting dust, maybe you might want to get rid of it and make some cash. Sex by Madonna can go for $75 used, and four times that new!
Notable fiction works on the list include Rage and My Pretty Pony by Stephen King, Promise Me Tomorrow by Nora Roberts, Mandingo by Kyle Onstott and Dark Carnival by Ray Bradbury.
