HELP! Looking for UK Sheetmusic stores.

Cafe Society

First off, thanks for opening the thread. I’m a huge sheet music junkie. I’ve got a fair sized collection and it just won’t stop growing.
So what happened is I was looking for sheetmusic on the internet, doing my rounds, and found a website that had a lot of the sheetmusic I wanted and some stuff I didn’t know I wanted until right now. (Y’know how that goes?). Well, it turns out that a majority of the songbooks/sheet music I wanted to order wasn’t in stock (I’m 95% positive it’s out of print, so it won’t be coming back in stock). Some of the sites I’ve tried have been:
Music exchange
which is where I found most of the OOP stuff
Musicroom
ebay
and
bookfinder

Anybody have any other good options for what I’m looking for?

(In case you’re curious or if this helps, here were some of the titles I’m looking for that were out of stock:
Tom Waits -Anthology 1986-2000
Tom Waits -Anthology 1973-1982
Hothouse Flowers -Song From the Rain
Hothouse Flowers- People
Supergrass- I Should Coco
Midnight Oil -Diesel and Dust
Wilco -Being There
Kate Bush-Complete)

Thanks,
josh

Uh, last time I was there, Foyles of London had sheet music. That was quite awhile ago.

Here in the San Fran Bay Area it’s Byron Hoyt.

And the reason I answered at all was to provide the perhaps unknown information that classical sheet music (at least) is now available on CD from CD Sheet Music (www.cdsheetmusic.com). One CD with 1000 pages of music! Great!

Foyles still have a music department.

Thanks for the links and info about Foyles…I did find a couple of the books I was looking for there. Unfortunately, when I went to checkout, the $28 (actually pounds, but I’m not sure if the board would like that symbol) had $279.00 in shipping charges. I’m not sure why it’d be that expensive and emailed Foyles about it too…
Any other suggestions?
Thanks!

never mind, musta been a glitch, i got the shipping down to a reasonable 9.50 pounds. Thanks!

You’re welcome. And you probably could’ve got it hand-delivered for £279.
