Gresham Books Oxford
Gresham Books provide a unique publishing service to schools, colleges and parishes wishing to produce their own hymnbooks, worship books, histories and handbooks.

Amazon.co.uk
Amazon, the biggest name in on-line books, with a huge range, massive discounts - usually about 20% off (or more!), as well as rapid delivery, and a clever system that suggests titles you might be interested in, based on previous purchases.
www.amazon.co.uk

BOL
A large stock, clear search options and plenty of on-line recommendations. Discounts run at about 10% or so, this British company not having quite the same resources yet, though things are shaping up and they recently gave away 40,000 titles in a happy hour!

Borders.com
They do a good job of translating their image on-line, and the commercial aspect doesn't let them down.

WHSmith Online Channels
They're selling and catching up, and the choice is good. Its variety and searches are broad, and "Smith's" is after all a reliable old favourite.

Barnes and Noble
The word "comprehensive" hardly seems adequate. This site has a huge selection of content, and is one of the biggest in America.

Atlantic Unbound
Another fine example of the Americans leading the way in cultural comment with firm commitment to principled writing and canny use of technology.
