This is pretty standard advice, but find forums, blogs, clubs for book-lovers. They can help promote for you (if they like your idea). Pitch to them like you would any VC or angel investor but cater to their passion for books.

Where do people like to read books? Coffee shops? Parks? Maybe you can add marketing material to these areas?

In general, what advantages do you offer over, say, Amazon's marketplace? I think its important to highlight why people should use your website over someone else's.

Thanks! We've been trying to contact physical bookstores and online sellers til now. The forums, blogs and clubs may be a better way forward. Amazon does not operate in Australia and the most active marketplace is a minimal free service run by universities (textbooksexchange).
