Online Searchable Database: Library and Non-Profit Book Sales and Book Stores (U.S.)
Here's a national database that provides info about library and non-profit book sales around the country. More info about the database itself in this FAQ. We are working to find out if listings are submitted or parsed from book sale web pages.
On the Front Page
+ Search by Zip Code and Distance from the Zip Code
+ Search by State by Selecting a State on the Map
According to this page several refinements are available on a results page. However, they were not visible when we visited the site.
+ Email address, web site, address, link to get directions
+ Payment Options
+ Description and Sale Dates
In terms of comprehensiveness it's hard to say. It likely depends on the area, if people know about the database, etc. In other words, results may vary. We did find sales listed months in advanced. Here's a book sale scheduled to take place in November just outside of Chicago.
If you register (it's free but note required you can set-up book sale alerts. You'll be notified when new sales are scheduled for a Zip Code or an area surrounding a Zip Code.
