Also my favourite source before ebooks, one large second-hand English bookshop here in the area of Spain I lived then. Not cheap but where there is no alternative - .
For a while Play were a good source with free delivery to EU on a £5.49 paperback as against £4.99 p&p for a £5.49 paperback from Amazon. (They really are out of touch IMHO). Play are still cheaper though they hide the delivery charge in a Euro price.
