Discovering a specific audiobook title or audio books on a particular subject or from a certain author is a perfect example of an areas which the Internet has made so much easier and quicker.
Even very obscure and specialist subject audio books can be located with relative ease - If you know how top go about it...Interviews with ex slaves from the post US Civil War south...Yes, they are there and you can get them if you want to listen in. By comparison mainline romamtic fiction, thrillers and business audio books (for example) are dead easy!
25 years ago if you were searching for a particular book you'd have had to visit a book shop or Library and might have spent hours searching through a huge collection of books, files and catalogues especially for rarer titles - with no guarantee of finding it, even with the assistance of the shop assistant librarian. And if it wasn't in stock then hard luck you'd just have to wait.
BUT THOSE DAYS ARE GONE! Now you can simply use the Internet to find whatever information you want.
If you are looking for a particular audio book, you can just visit any of the major search engines like Google and type the book title you are looking for with the word "audio book" included. This will immediately steer you in the right direction.
Alternatively, you can get the particular audio book you are looking for by going directly to bookstore websites. Some of the best bookstores on the Internet include: Amazon, Audible, Barnes & Noble and franchisee's of audio books to download specialist SpokenNetwork.
These online audio book stores have special facilities on their sites which will enable you to find the specific title you are searching for.
The procedure is very similar to using the search feature on your favorite search engine. However it is more focused and way faster, as it is searching only the database of the particular bookstore rather than the wider and less focused search across the entire database of websites.
To try it just visit any of these online audiobook stores and enter the title and/or author name you are looking for. If the site is one that does normal books and CDs etc. Also, if they sell products other than audio books be sure to include the term "audio book" in your search query.
If you exhaust these options and are unable to find that audio book that you are looking for, visit one of the many book forums on the Internet and ask for the advice of other book enthusiasts.
Or try communities like Squidoo, Hugpages and LiveJournal where enthusiasts for just about anything you can bimagine hang out and share..well anything! You'll be astonished that there are many people out there who know a lot and are willing to share.
Going deeper than this there are also huge numbers of specialist websites with audio books, samples, interviews, spoken word and poetry on a simply giant range of subjects.
The example I gave at the start of interviews with slaves does exist. Others include out of copyright audio books, political transcripts by the million and endless amateur recordings of popular works some of which are superb. There are thousands of these sources and I have listed many on my site.
