I live in Iowa City, and there's a surprisingly hip and uncommonly well-stocked music store tucked away in a storefront basement. Eble Music is slow to get unto cyberspace (http://host.giant.net/~eble-web/index.php3) but if you can find traces of something in print, i.e. finding it on a cd or in a bibliography, their wind chamber music holdings are impressive. They even have a fair number of manuscript editions.

Depending on the era you're going for, check out musicarara.com . Musica Rara produces editions that typically have a great deal of integrity. In particular, check out the Heinrich Biber sonatas. There are several for two trumpets, one for seven, and one for eight (which, I think, is at the end of Wynton's "Baroque Music for Trumpets.") Lully's always a pleasant composer, and there's a three trumpet work there. The early baroque (early 17th century) in Italy was such a fertile time for brass writing in addition, and there are so many quality, innovative brass works from that time that have yet to hit the mainstream repertoire simply because there is so much of it! If you find something from there that ends up working really well, let me know.

EDIT: WHOA, ROWUK, THAT CATALOGUE IS AMAZING!
