To all:
As you may have noticed, a few months back I added a large number of bookstores and libraries in Spanish-speaking South America, before temporarily abandoning that project for others. I expect I'll be returning at some point to bring that project to some form of completion, and I'm not specifically requesting help with it (though its current status can be seen in this thread: https://www.librarything.com/topic/224197).
Meanwhile, however: in the course of that work, I identified another worthy project that deserves any attention members are willing to give to it. Namely, we have not yet added the used bookstores affiliated to ILAB-LILA, the premier international antiquarian booksellers' association. Other (unaffiliated) used and antiquarian booksellers' associations are also worthy of investigating and adding, but to my mind ILAB-LILA -- regarded as the international gold standard -- should likewise be regarded as the top priority.
I was surprised and disappointed to find that this task had not been done already. At the moment, I do not have the time for an additional project myself. If anyone else would like to work on it, though, the complete directory may be downloaded as a PDF from this page:

I'm happy to contribute a bit or offer any advice, but I can't take the lead on this one at the moment. Any takers?
