he International League of Antiquarian Booksellers presents a unique new worldwide service:
The best and and most easily searched rare books offered online by the leading booksellers of five continents

London, March 31st 2001- The International League of Antiquarian Booksellers (ILAB), representing about 2,000 leading dealers of all continents, offers a unique new service: The best antiquarian books, manuscripts, maps, prints and autographs can now be traced and ordered online, thanks to a sophisticated new search engine- the only one in the world which provides full text-search including 28 special characters such as the Scandinavian â, the French ç, the Spanish ñ, the German ß and the Portuguese õ. The search engine has now been installed in the Ilab internet website http://www.ilab-lila.com. where booksellers from Europe, Asia, Africa, America and Australia present their rare and precious goods.
Separate searches on many criteria include not only author and title, but also description, publisher (date and place), edition (any or first), dust jacket, binding, dedication, price, keywords, dealers country and recently added books, thus enabling users to find all information wanted in short time and with no effort. They can search in the separate parts - books, prints & maps and autographs - or start a combined search in all three sections. The website is bilingual (English and French).
The Ilab warrants that all books, manuscripts, maps, prints and autographs are described professionally and that all material offerred is authentic.
The League publishes and upholds a code of ethics which is based on its more then 50 years of practice and on the wide experience of leading international booksellers and which is obligatory for all national associations affiliated to the ILAB as well as for their members - dealers who deserve the buyers confidence.
No other book-searching website can guarantee so much expertise and consumer protection.
