I LOVE LOVE LOVE this store! by Emily G. at InsiderPages

I can spend hours lost in this store looking and books -and sometimes I don't even buy anything, I just put it on my wish list for later. They have an awesome program for frequent shoppers that saves you 10% each time -costs $25 for the year, but for the number of books I buy, that's worth it in the year.

PROS: Books, books and more books!

CONS: Nothing bad about books!

An easy-access resource for books of any stripe, with impressive children's, business and bestseller sections.
