i've been trying without luck, in finding a site showing the front covers of 'no-longer printed' books - as sites like amazon.com etc just list contemporary stuff, an so wonder if theres a online archive site somewhere that anyone here might know about?

Amazon is normally good for out of print books.

Just click the 'new and used' link next to the price.

aha, i got there last week thru this whs site...
www.whsmith.co.uk/whs/Go.ASP?menu=Books&pagedef=/books/outofprint/index.htm

as for amazon.com - they a list fare few i admit, tho 99% of the rare stuff dont have their covers shown, an that determines their edition an worth.

an re america's barnes & nobel booksite - dats shit dat is

so far then, i'd say the abebooks site is the best to date
