Favorite Online Bookstores
In Association with Amazon.com Amazon.com
Everything and then some, decent discounts.
LFB.com Laissez Faire Books
As you might guess from the name, Laissez Faire Books features books on everything related to liberty, usually at healthy discounts. You'll find books on history, biography, philosophy, politics, economics, law, education, the environment, culture, current events, terrorism, etc. We're fond of their free printed catalog, too.
Abebooks.com
Much as we love browsing in actual used bookstores, we must admit that we have better luck finding specific rare, used, and out-of-print titles at Abebooks, which indexes the collections of a vast network of independent bookstores across North America and handles transactions. We've had numerous positive experiences with Abebooks, and never a negative one.
Sam Weller's Sam Weller's Zion Bookstore
Sam Weller's is an institution in downtown Salt Lake City, and they do a lot of business over the Internet, too. They have literally millions of books in stock, both new and used; much of the stock is indexed at their Web site. See also their occasional catalogs of rare treasures, and don't miss BookishThoughts.com's review of the Sam Weller experience.

More Book Reviews
BrothersJudd.com
This site has a large number of reviews, some fairly long and some as short as a letter grade. Like BookishThoughts.com, it reviews some classics and other excellent but not recent books, rather than focusing solely on bestsellers. We don't always agree -- such as when they give Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment a letter grade of "C," but the reviews tend to be well-written and show evidence of thought. The site also has a blog, among other attractions.

Conservative Thought on the Web
Jewish World Review
Besides material related to Judaism and Jewish culture, this site offers commentary from numerous syndicated columnists, including George Will, Thomas Sowell, Mona Charen, and others. Better still, it has archives of these authors' columns going back, in some cases, for years. JWR offers Mallard Fillmore and other cartoons. We recommend subscribing to the free daily JWR e-mailing, which is easier to navigate than the home page. If you get hooked on JWR, which is hard not to do, you might consider a small contribution. It is largely the work of one overworked man, Binyamin L. Jolkovsky, Editor-in-Chief.
RealClearPolitics.com
This site combines links to news and commentary from many sources with plenty of its own content.

History, Biography, Reference
WorldHistory.com
WorldHistory.com offers a vast and growing collection of materials, including more than 175,000 articles from Wikipedia, the online, open-source encyclopedia. Further growth and a major redesign are in the offing; it should be worth watching.
