On-line Bookstores for Used Books

Back to TopAbebooks.com

An on-line marketplace that connects the inventories of booksellers around the States with readers trying to locate books. Search facilities are good; results can be sorted by price, though not by the state where the bookseller is located (can affect shipping charges).

Back to TopAmazon.uk

A good resource for books printed only in the UK. Service is reliable and selection is good.

Back to TopAmazon.com

The classic site partners with independent booksellers to offer used books shipped to your door.

Back to Tophalf.com

Half.com is reported to beat Abebooks.com's price 9 times out of 10 and to have lower shipping charges to boot. NOTE: Half.com is affiliated with eBay, which may partially account for its exceptional access to bargain-basement items.

Back to Toppowellsbooks.com

Alleged to be the largest online bookstore, powellsbooks.com also offers books printed in the UK that are not normally available in the States.

 

Magazines and Reviews

Back to TopRomantic Times

Widely regarded as the best source for romance reviews. A good review here will go a long way toward boosting sales. Also contains craft and industry news articles.

Back to TopPublishers Weekly

Contains publishing industry news and articles that encompass almost all fiction genres.

Back to TopArabella

Word on the street is that this slick little mag is a keeper. Contains short fiction and articles.
