Castle Bookshop, Holt, Clwyd.
Huge stock of (mostly 2nd-hand) archaeology, architecture, history and local studies; fast, reliable mail-order service.
Blackwell's Online Bookshop.
Access "one of the world's greatest bookstores", specialising in business, acedemic and technical books. Search and order from 1.5 million titles.
Amazon.com This is an extraordinary site (now extended to electrical gadgets and home-improvement!) and seems to list just about every book published in the English speaking world in the last fifty years or more (and they also have British, French and German sites): you can order on-line and they have a network of dealers who will find out-of-print items (at a price!); also music, video, electronic gadgets. Excellent. Almost as good, their UK outpost Amazon.co.uk.
Dillons Booksellers. Another leading academic bookseller that now has a fully interactive site for searching and ordering.
Oxbow Books : Specialists on archaeology and history ("the Ancient World and the Middle Ages").Good website, recently overhauled.
Excellent (printed) Oxbow Book News issued periodically.
