(Victoria, BC) - AbeBooks.com announces today a growing response to a new program that allows booksellers in the United Kingdom and Canada to market their books to major research and institutional libraries in the United States. There are more than 10 million books in the program that links abebooks.com's inventory with 21 North Main's library market, chosen from abebooks.com's inventory of over 20 million books. Since the program opened to the UK and Canada this month, more than three hundred booksellers in the two countries have signed in.
